Supreme Court sides with Trump in fight tied to speech curbs on immigration judges

The U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration and sent back a free-speech challenge by federal immigration judges, but did not rule on whether the speech restriction itself is constitutional.
The contested policy — created under Trump and kept by subsequent administrations — requires immigration judges to get prior approval for any “official” public remarks, and the judges’ association sued arguing it violates the First Amendment.
The dispute touches larger questions about agency independence after multiple firings of agency heads and comes as the Supreme Court considers several high-profile immigration issues (removal protections, birthright citizenship and temporary status for migrants).
