The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue several major rulings over the next two weeks in cases involving President Donald Trump, including challenges related to birthright citizenship, the dismissal of federal officials, and immigration policies.
The court, which holds a 6-3 conservative majority, has around 20 cases remaining before concluding its current term at the end of June. Among the most closely watched cases is Trump's effort to restrict birthright citizenship by denying automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants or temporary visitors.
Another significant case centers on Trump's attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, whom he accused of mortgage fraud; allegations she denies. The Supreme Court previously declined to immediately allow her removal, and legal observers believe the court may ultimately rule against the administration on the issue.
The justices are also reviewing Trump's authority to dismiss leaders of independent federal agencies, including former Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter. The administration appears more likely to prevail in this broader dispute over presidential powers.
Immigration-related cases are also awaiting decisions, including whether the administration can revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants and the extent of federal authority to deny asylum claims at the U.S. border.
Legal experts say the cases reflect the administration's expansive view of presidential authority. While some rulings may go against Trump, observers note that the court has generally shown support for strengthening executive power in recent years.
Beyond Trump-related disputes, the Supreme Court is also expected to decide several high-profile cases involving transgender athletes' participation in women's sports, election laws, and gun rights.
Advocates on both sides are closely watching the outcomes, which could have lasting implications for presidential authority, immigration policy, and constitutional rights in the United States.
