The Supreme Court’s term has come to a close, with several major rulings that have significant implications for the country. One of the most notable decisions was on immigration, where the court upheld the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigrants.

Immigration Rulings

The court allowed the Department of Homeland Security to end deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans and Haitians, and to employ a restrictive policy limiting the number of people seeking asylum each day at the southern border.

The court also ruled that border officers have wider latitude in cases of green-card holders accused of crimes. This decision is a significant win for the Trump administration, which has made immigration a key priority.

Gun Rights Rulings

The court also made significant rulings on gun rights, including a decision that people cannot be barred from owning firearms just because they regularly use marijuana. The court also struck down a Hawaii law that required people to get permission to carry guns into stores and hotels.

Additionally, the court announced that it will decide whether state and local bans on semi-automatic rifles, commonly known as assault weapons, violate the Second Amendment. This decision has significant implications for gun owners and advocates of the Second Amendment.

Other Rulings

The court also made significant rulings on other issues, including a decision that gave the president effective control over independent regulatory agencies. The court struck down provisions that required the president to identify a cause, such as negligence, before firing the leaders of these agencies.

The court also ruled on a case involving birthright citizenship, where the Trump administration had sought to limit citizenship to children born to parents who are in the country legally or temporarily. The court ultimately ruled that the administration had gone too far in its efforts to limit citizenship.
