The Supreme Court is set to issue rulings in nearly two dozen cases over the next few weeks, including several high-stakes matters involving immigration and presidential authority.
The court has yet to rule on birthright citizenship, the term's biggest case tied to an executive order signed by President Trump on his first day back in office. That order aims to end automatic citizenship for babies born on U.S. soil under the 14th Amendment. At oral argument, the Trump administration faced skepticism even from conservative justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts. Another immigration dispute concerns the revocation of temporary protected status for thousands of people from Haiti and Syria. The case questions whether federal courts can review such decisions by the Homeland Security Department. The justices are also weighing two cases on the president's power to remove federal officials. One involves a Federal Trade Commission commissioner fired last year, while the other concerns efforts to dismiss Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook. This week the court allowed Alabama to use a voting map that a lower court had found discriminatory against Black voters. Civil rights groups criticized the decision.
