A second ruling also clears the way for the administration to turn back asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border.

Our correspondent in Washington, Bernd Abissman, told Valerie Sanderson why Haitians and Syrians were originally given this legal protection.

Temporary protective status is a program that started way back in 1990.

And essentially, it's granted to individuals from very specific countries that are pre-approved by the U.S.

government.

who are unable to accommodate many of these migrants because of war, natural disasters, for example.

Syrians, for their part, many of them received temporary protected status after the country's civil war began in 2012.

But those who aren't the only nationalities that have received this status, but they're the ones that are subject to the Supreme Court's ruling.

Well, President Trump, of course, has a very hardline view towards immigration from other countries.

He, in particular, has repeatedly spoken against Haiti.

And more broadly, the Trump administration is of the view that temporary protected status was always meant to be temporary.

Now, the initial policy is for 18 months, but that's subject to extensions.

And many of the Haitians, for example, have been here now since 2010, 2011.

And there are

many other cases of nationalities that have been here for very extended timeframes.

The Trump administration really wanted to end this because they no longer saw it as being a temporary measure, as in the name.

Well, that's a huge complication.

Of course, if the children are born in the US, they are American citizens.

Now, that's also something that the Supreme Court is debating.

And we're expecting a ruling on that any day or any week now.
