The Spin

Republican narrative

SCOTUS has delivered a massive win for the Trump administration, which was right in its argument that courts should have no power to hinder the executive branch's carrying out of crucial immigration policy — even while litigation is pending. Biden's parole pipeline for illegal immigrants must be dismantled and the deportations must begin immediately to keep America safe.

Democratic narrative

The Supreme Court couldn't be more wrong about allowing the administration to revoke these immigrants' status while they're making their case to stay in America. Stays are meant to prevent as much pre-decision damage as possible, yet SCOTUS is allowing the administration to upend the lives of thousands of litigants whose presence in the United States inflicts less damage on the country than they're now going to endure.
