# Border / Immigration
The Supreme Court and the Current Immigration Crisis: In the case of Biden v. Texas, the Supreme Court backed the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s decision to end the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). This case shows that the Supreme Court is not simply a mirror of current political views. Interpretation of the law is still at the center of the Justices’ work, even if their personal political beliefs might differ from one another.

How big a deal is NASA’s new UFO study? “NASA believes that the tools of scientific discovery are powerful and apply here also,” Zurbuchen said in a statement(opens in new tab). “We have access to a broad range of observations of Earth from space – and that is the lifeblood of scientific inquiry. We have the tools and team who can help us improve our understanding of the unknown. That’s the very definition of what science is. That’s what we do.” The UAP study team will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, previously the chair of the astrophysics department at Princeton University.

The Mysterious Bundle Of ‘Noodles’ Isn’t The Only Weird Thing We’ve Found On Mars: The odd bit of debris was spotted by one of Perseverance’s hazard cams that are tasked with making sure the SUV-sized rover doesn’t crash into any boulders or flounder in a Martian ditch. The bit of space trash was first spotted last week and caused such an online ruckus that it became the mission’s image of the week by public acclaim. Less than a week later, the little bundle of mystery was gone, presumably carried off by the wind
