12 of the top cases on the US Supreme Court's docket this term
The justices will weigh disputes over immigration, voting rights and gun laws, with rulings that could reshape federal policy and affect millions.
The Supreme Court began its nine-month term in Washington, preparing to hear several high-profile cases on immigration, voting rights, gun control, and education policy.
Immigration policies dominate the docket as justices review government bids to deny asylum to migrants and determine the legality of deporting migrants to third countries.
Second Amendment challenges take center stage as justices hear arguments regarding state-level bans on semi-automatic rifles, which challengers argue violate the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
Voting requirements face scrutiny as the Court considers an appeal, with critics claiming the state law unfairly targets specific groups and violates federal registration requirements.
Education and religious liberty feature prominently, with justices reviewing a lottery-based school admissions lawsuit and deciding whether religious entities should be exempt from a preschool funding program.
