Live updates: Supreme Court rules on birthright citizenship



The Supreme Court on Friday is set to issue the remaining six opinions of its term, including a long-awaited decision having to do with the legality of nationwide injunctions in the context of President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.

The court appeared divided on the matter when it heard arguments in the case in May.

Though several conservative justices expressed concerns that judges are overstepping their authority by not limiting their rulings to the specific parties suing, it remained unclear whether the administration had convinced a majority to claw back the practice.

Other major cases the court is set to rule on involve the religious rights of parents in Maryland who want to remove their children from classes that use books with LGBTQ characters and themes. Oral arguments in May signaled the court may side with parents, who argued the lack of an opt-out option burdened their First Amendment rights to freedom of religion.

The court is also expected to release opinions related to cases involving Louisiana’s congressional map, a challenge to Texas’s age-verification law for adult websites, a challenge to Obamacare’s preventative care requirements, and a matter involving the federal internet subsidiary program.

Opinions will be read from the bench starting at 10 a.m. ET.

Meanwhile, the House will receive a classified briefing on the weekend strikes on Iran, while Republicans scramble to move forward with Trump’s reconciliation package, known as the “big, beautiful bill.”
