The United States Supreme Court has issued two new opinions.

In Biden v. Texas the court held that the government’s rescission of Migrant Protection Protocols did not violate section 1225 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the then-Secretary of Homeland Security’s October 29 Memoranda constituted valid final agency action.
