Top DHS Lawyers Say the Quiet Part About Biden’s TPS Crimes Out Loud as Leftists Seethe at SCOTUS Rulings

Joe Biden flew 450,000 Haitians into America and called it temporary.

Homeland Security’s top lawyers, including General Counsel James Percival just told the country what everyone already knew.

After SCOTUS handed Trump three 6-3 immigration wins Thursday, Percival went public with something that should end the debate forever – and Democrats aren't going to like what he said.

SCOTUS Demolishes Biden's Favorite Lie

For three years, Biden insisted he lacked the legal authority to turn migrants away at the border.

He was lying.

In Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the justices ruled that a migrant who hasn't physically set foot on U.S. soil does not get to apply for asylum.

Biden knew this – his own administration used the same legal authority in June 2024 when border crossings hit nearly 250,000 in a single month.

He spent three years drowning American cities in illegal migrants he claimed he couldn't stop – then quietly reversed course the moment his poll numbers cratered.

The Supreme Court didn't create a new rule.

It confirmed what the law always said – and what Biden chose to ignore while 10 million migrants poured across the border.

The TPS Scam Is Finally Over

The second ruling hits hardest for the millions of Americans who watched Biden use Temporary Protected Status as a backdoor amnesty machine.

"The T in TPS stands for TEMPORARY, yet many of these designations became de facto amnesty," Percival said after the 6-3 decision in Mullin v. Doe.

Congress created TPS in 1990 as emergency humanitarian relief – short-term shelter for people fleeing natural disasters and war zones.

Biden turned it into a permanent residency pipeline.

At least 450,000 Haitians were handed work permits, drivers' licenses, and access to government benefits – not because Congress authorized permanent immigration, but because Alejandro Mayorkas signed a piece of paper.

The justices ruled that the law bars judicial review of TPS decisions, stripping Democrat-appointed judges of the ability to delay deportations through procedural gridlock.

Springfield, Ohio knows this story better than anyone.

That town's local elite absorbed more than 10,000 Haitians under TPS – enough to spike rents, overwhelm schools, and strain every public institution in the city.

The Supreme Court just gave Springfield its life back.

The Third Ruling Ends Mayorkas's Get-Out-of-Jail Loophole

The third decision – Blanche v. Muk Choi Lau – is the one Alejandro Mayorkas spent years quietly exploiting.

Under the system Mayorkas ran, a green card holder convicted of a crime in the United States could tie ICE in court for years through ambiguities in the criminal deportation statutes.

Convicted felons with legal status stayed in American neighborhoods while immigration lawyers buried the cases in procedural appeals.

The Supreme Court closed that door.

ICE can now move faster against legal permanent residents with criminal records – no more decade-long stalling games funded by the same activist legal network that sued to keep the border open.

Sotomayor's Bench Tantrum Explains Everything

Justice Sonia Sotomayor was so furious Thursday she did something justices almost never do – she read her dissent aloud from the bench.

Sotomayor warned that "more people will die" and called the asylum ruling "illogical."

Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the majority opinion, responded on the spot – a moment that's essentially unheard of in Supreme Court history.

He pointed out that the metering policy Sotomayor was attacking wasn't a Trump invention – it originated under Obama, was expanded in Trump's first term, and was scrapped by Biden.

It was orderly.

It was humane.

The only thing illogical is what Biden let happen for four years while telling Americans he had no choice.

Democrats Chose Chaos and SCOTUS Just Chose the Law

Kathy Hochul rushed to a podium in Manhattan to announce New York would designate "sensitive locations" to block ICE and ban masks on immigration enforcers.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus claimed the rulings were "enabling the Trump administration's worst anti-immigrant policies."

What they're actually complaining about is a federal government that finally enforces the law Congress wrote – instead of the open-border system Biden invented by executive fiat.

They were right about one thing: everything is different now.

This is what winning looks like.
