The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on March 30, 2026, in Trump v. Barbara, challenging President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas. As previously covered, the order—issued January 20, 2025—interprets the 14th Amendment as not granting automatic citizenship in these cases. A ruling, expected in coming months, could impact hundreds of thousands of children born after February 20, 2025.
Juries in California and New Mexico last week held Meta and Alphabet's YouTube liable for harms to young users, awarding a total of over $381 million in damages. The cases targeted platform features rather than third-party content, challenging long-standing Section 230 protections. Company lawyers have vowed to appeal the rulings.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented in a case involving a Vermont state police sergeant's use of force against a nonviolent protester, warning that the majority granted officers a 'license to inflict gratuitous pain.' The decision reversed a lower court's ruling denying qualified immunity to Sgt. Jacob Zorn. Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, argued the action violated the Fourth Amendment.

The US Supreme Court will hear arguments on Monday in Watson v. Republican National Committee, a case challenging state laws that count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received shortly after. The Republican National Committee argues that federal law requires states to discard such ballots, a stance that could have invalidated over 750,000 votes in the 2024 election. About half of states, including Texas and Mississippi, currently allow these ballots.
