The ruling on Monday by the Supreme Court marks the latest in a series of decisions on immigration policies from the high court that the Trump administration has left them to rule on.Last week, the administration asked the Supreme Court to end humanitarian parole for hundreds of thousands of Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuela immigrants.

It is also estimated to save 3,400 tonnes of carbon over the next 20 years.Mr Quinn said: "The council put forward a strong case for the benefits of investing in decarbonisation of our buildings and I'm delighted government funding has been allocated to support these schemes."
He said the project demonstrated the council's commitment to tackling climate change and its carbon neutral and net zero targets, whilst continuing the energy efficiency work already in place thanks to last year's funding.The council said it would engage with stakeholders as the project got under way before choosing a contractor in July.
