The Supreme Court is set to make several key decisions that could significantly impact President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda, particularly on immigration and government oversight. The court’s rulings could also further define the boundaries between the White House, Congress, and the courts.
Executive Power and Immigration
One of the most closely watched cases involves President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, which aims to limit automatic citizenship for children born to parents who entered the country illegally. The case could define the limits of presidential power and determine whether a president can change a longstanding interpretation of citizenship law without Congress.
The court is also considering cases involving the administration’s effort to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for certain migrants living in the U.S. The TPS program currently covers roughly 1.3 million people fleeing war and natural disasters from 17 countries and allows them to live and work in the country for a limited time.
Gun Rights and Transgender Athletes
The court is also weighing in on cases involving gun rights and transgender athletes. In one case, the justices are considering whether state laws that restrict transgender girls and women from competing on female athletic teams violate the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause or federal protections under Title IX.
In another case, the court is deciding whether federal Election Day statutes preempt various state laws and may clarify exactly what ‘the election’ means when it comes to the casting and receipt of ballots.
