Immigration, climate, guns: key Trump policies to be tested at supreme court
Conservative court asked to rule on several signature policies in 2026-27 term – will it rule in president’s favor?
Several of Donald Trump’s second-term policies will be tested at the supreme court in the coming months: it is being asked to rule on challenges to theadministration’s harsh immigration and deportation policies, along with a climate change lawsuitagainst energy companies and an attempt to loosen restrictions on assault-style rifles.
The Roberts court is often split in favor of conservative issues 6-3, but it has also diverged from Trump on some key cases, leading the president at times to rage against some of the justices he nominated for the bench.
Decisions are expected in or before June 2027.
Here are some of the major supreme court cases in the 2026-27 term.
Justices have yet to decide whether to take up several other major cases, including a dispute over providing gender-affirming care to transgender inmates, the administration’s ban on trans service members and a case challenging state laws requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms, among others.
