The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of migrants from Haiti and Syria. In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled that federal judges cannot block the government from ending these protections, which have allowed approximately 350,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians to live and work in the U.S. legally. A second ruling established that asylum seekers must be physically present on U.S. soil before applying for protection, reviving a controversial metering policy. Internationally, rescue teams from Switzerland, Turkey, and the Netherlands have landed in Venezuela to assist with earthquake recovery efforts. Meanwhile, a former Ukrainian intelligence colonel was sentenced to life in prison for high treason after spying for Russia's FSB, and South Korea announced a massive military overhaul to train 500,000 personnel as drone operators to counter regional threats.
