Supreme Court Enters Final Stretch: Major Cases on Birthright Citizenship, Transgender Sports, and Agency Independence Await Rulings

09 June 2026 02:40

The Supreme Court is in its final weeks of the term, with 23 cases remaining. Key rulings are expected on birthright citizenship, transgender sports bans, and the independence of federal agencies.

The court has already struck down Trump's tariff program and weakened the Voting Rights Act. Other cases involve mail-in ballots, Temporary Protected Status for migrants, geofencing warrants, and gun regulations.

Decisions are due by early July. - Birthright citizenship: Court likely to rule against Trump's executive order.

- Transgender sports: Court likely to uphold state bans on trans athletes. - Agency independence: Conservative majority expected to allow Trump to fire agency heads at will.

- Mail-in ballots: Challenge to grace periods for late-arriving ballots. - TPS: Court to decide if Trump can end protections for Haitians and Syrians.

The outcomes could reshape constitutional law, federal agency power, and civil rights protections.
