The U.S. Supreme Court is entering the final month of its term, with more than 30 decisions expected to be released by early July. Pending cases include challenges to federal agency layoffs, religious freedom, gender-affirming care for minors, and proposed changes to birthright citizenship rules. Since the start of Donald Trump's second term, the administration has filed emergency appeals with the Supreme Court nearly once a week, including its 18th emergency application on May 27. The latest filing asks the justices to halt a lower court ruling that limits reductions in the federal workforce. Solicitor General D. John Sauer is representing the administration in these appeals. The Supreme Court has issued orders in 11 emergency cases so far, with the administration prevailing in more than half. There have been 40 nationwide injunctions issued since January 2025. Litigation involving the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), formerly led by Elon Musk until his recent departure, remains active. Disputes include DOGE's access to Social Security data, transparency under the Freedom of Information Act, and its role in federal agency restructuring. Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily paused some lower court orders affecting DOGE, and acting Administrator Amy Gleason is involved in ongoing proceedings. Other notable cases include challenges to executive orders on birthright citizenship, with three nationwide injunctions under appeal. The Court is also reviewing cases on religious exemptions for nonprofits, access to gender-affirming care for minors, and parental rights regarding LGBTQ-inclusive curricula in public schools. Recent district court rulings have addressed layoffs at the U.S. Institute of Peace, Harvard's enrollment of international students, and executive orders targeting law firms. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear new cases next term, including those on immigrant forced labor, election laws, warrantless home entries, and lawsuits against military contractors. Additional cases involve the Temporary Protected Status program for 350,000 Venezuelans, a Biden-era parole program, the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, Smith & Wesson v. Mexico, and Louisiana v. Callais redistricting.
