Here are the unresolved Trump administration SCOTUS cases as court winds down for summer
The Supreme Court still has approximately a dozen cases on its dockets, including challenges from the Trump administration, and only one more release date scheduled.
The Trump administration has filed many emergency appeals with the Supreme Court this year, but as the High Court prepares to break for the summer, several important ones remain unresolved.
The Supreme Court still has approximately a dozen cases on its dockets, including challenges from the Trump administration, and only one more release date scheduled. The court typically tries to finish its term at the end of June, but can extend the calendar into July if it chooses.
If the Supreme Court does not issue a decision on a case by the end of the current term, the Justices can order it to be reargued in the next term, which will begin in October.
Here are the Trump administration's cases that are still pending:
Birthright citizenship case and nationwide injunctions
One of the biggest cases remaining for the Trump administration is on the topic of nationwide injunctions and birthright citizenship. Both sides presented their arguments before the high court on May 15, and the justices did not give a clear indication of which way they were leaning, according to the Washington Examiner.
The case comes after three district court judges ruled that President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, meaning the practice of granting automatic citizenship to all U.S.-born babies, violated the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and blocked it.
Administration's ability to deport illegal migrants to South Sudan
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on May 27 to allow it to deport illegal migrants to third-world countries like South Sudan, arguing a lower court's order slow-walked the administration's ability to remove illegal migrants whose home countries would not accept them.
The Supreme Court has received briefs on the request from both sides of the application, but has yet to issue a decision.
Federal workforce reductions
The Trump administration on June 2 asked the Supreme Court to stay a lower court order preventing the government from implementing large-scale job cuts and the reorganization of federal agencies, arguing the president's ability to control staffing in the executive branch is part of his constitutional authority.
The administration has also asked the court to stay a lower court's ruling that blocks the Department of Education from laying off hundreds of employees as it looks to downsize its workforce.
The Supreme Court has received briefs from both sides in both cases.
The last day the Supreme Court is scheduled to release its opinions is June 26.
