The justices, acting in an appeal by a married couple from El Salvador who were granted so-called Temporary Protected Status, unanimously upheld a lower court ruling that barred their applications for permanent residency, also known as a green card, because of their unlawful entry.
A federal law called the Immigration and Nationality Act generally requires that people seeking to become permanent residents have been "inspected and admitted" into the United States. At issue in the case was whether a grant of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which gives the recipient "lawful status," satisfies those requirements.
Not sure what effect this will have, but it sounds good on the surface.

I heard it was a unanimous decision, kind of surprising

Yes, it was unanimous. VERY surprising, indeed.
Except that the American Dream and Promise Act of 2021 is making its way through Congress, and that will fix this. So the justices had nothing to lose by ruling in favor of what the law says today, because I'm sure the liberals are counting on the law being different tomorrow.
