Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, warning of severe consequences for affected individuals, who may face life-threatening conditions if deported. The ruling represents a significant shift in immigration policy, as it is the first mass revocation of humanitarian protections in modern history. Critics argue this decision will have devastating impacts on immigrant communities.
