Washington, Jun 26: The US Supreme Court on Thursday handed President Donald Trump two significant legal victories on his immigration agenda, clearing the way for the administration to move ahead with deportations of certain migrants and revive restrictions on asylum seekers at the southern border.

In two closely divided rulings, the court allowed the administration to proceed with plans that could affect millions of immigrants who had been living in the United States under temporary legal protections.

In one decision, the court permitted the administration to move forward with deporting certain categories of migrants whose legal status had been challenged, potentially impacting a large number of people residing in the country.

In a separate ruling, the justices allowed the Trump administration to reinstate a policy that blocks many migrants from entering the United States to seek asylum at the southern border.

The rulings mark a major victory for Trump's immigration agenda, which has focused on tightening border controls, reducing illegal immigration and limiting avenues for migrants to remain in the country.

The decisions were issued by an ideologically divided Supreme Court, reflecting sharp differences among the justices over the administration's immigration policies.

The rulings are expected to have far-reaching consequences for immigration enforcement and asylum procedures, while legal challenges over the scope and implementation of the policies are likely to continue.
