With a mixed scorecard, Trump poised to test his powers again at US Supreme Court

The justices will weigh immigration crackdowns and other Trump-related appeals after a term that brought mixed rulings for the administration.

  • On Monday, the US Supreme Court begins a new nine-month term confronting multiple cases involving President Donald Trump's far-reaching policies and aggressive uses of executive power.
  • Although President Trump has benefited from the court's 6-3 conservative majority, recent rulings blocked his sweeping tariffs and mail-in ballot control, prompting his criticism of appointees Justice Neil Gorsuch, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
  • The administration's hard-line immigration crackdown remains central, with cases pending on asylum claims and deportation policies utilizing the court's "shadow docket" for emergency rulings.
  • Donald Verrilli, former solicitor general under President Barack Obama, stated, "The court is asserting its independence from the president," signaling judicial resolve amid constitutional tensions.
  • In the coming months, justices will hear additional cases, including a December hearing on deporting immigrants to third countries, while maintaining constitutional balance between the three branches of government.
