Supreme Court rules in favor of Biden, immigration

A. The U.S. Supreme Court limited the power of the Environmental Protection Agency to restrict emissions from power plants. It makes it nearly impossible for President Biden to achieve his climate goals because of the ruling, combined with a worldwide energy crunch and intraparty politics. Experts said the ruling would make it mathematically impossible for him to keep a campaign promise to cut U.S. pollution by the end of the decade. The decision comes at a time when experts are warnings on climate change. In a dissent, the court's three liberal justices said the decision had stripped the E.P. A. of the power to respond to the most pressing environmental challenge of our time. The ruling could make it easier for business owners to challenge regulations and extend well beyond environmental policy. Immigration: The Supreme Court sided with Biden's efforts to end the Remain in Mexico program, a Trump-era policy that requires migrants seeking asylum to wait in Mexico while their cases are heard. Ketanji Brown Jackson is the first black woman to serve on the court. She is replacing Justice Stephen Breyer, who retired today.

That was it for today's briefing.
