Supreme Court allows a Biden policy to take effect focusing deportations on public safety risks

The Supreme Court will no longer stand in the way of a long-blocked Biden administration policy to prioritize the deportation of immigrants who are deemed to pose the greatest public safety risk or were picked up at the border. The justices on Friday rejected a challenge from Republican-led states to a policy that, the administration said, recognizes that there is not enough money or manpower to deport all 11 million or so people who are in the United States illegally. The states had argued that federal immigration law requires authorities to detain and deport even those who pose little or no risk.
