The decision is a technical step in a long-running case, but it touches on the effects of a series of high-profile firings under President Donald Trump. Immigration judges are federal employees, and the question at the center of the appeal is about whether they can sue to challenge a policy restricting their public speeches or if they are required to use a separate complaint system for the federal workforce. Trump's Republican administration asked the Supreme Court to intervene after an appeals court found that Trump’s firings of top complaint system officials had raised questions about whether it's still working as intended.

In what was a technical step, the justices let stand a ruling that raised questions about the Trump administration's handling of the federal workforce.

President Trump proposes ending birthright citizenship and implementing merit-based immigration system to address the country's broken immigration laws.
