## Immigration News

Supreme Court & birthright citizenship (Trump v. Barbara, June 30 2026): the Court ruled 6-3 that birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment remains protected; children born in the U.S. are citizens at birth regardless of their parents’ status. It does NOT change TPS or deportation proceedings.

Immigration deadlines (AR-11, EOIR-33, NOIR 30-day windows) keep running after a firm closes.
