The US
Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to proceed with a rule that aims to deny permanent residency and citizenship to immigrants who claim welfare benefits.
The top chamber's five conservative justices outvoted their four progressive colleagues to support a request by President
Donald Trump to lift a
New York court injunction that had blocked the rule's application.
Trump has made clamping down on immigrants a cornerstone of his presidency, and Monday's ruling is the latest by the Supreme Court in favor of his migrant-related policies.
