The Supreme Court is entering the final weeks of its term with several high-profile cases involving President Donald Trump's second-term agenda still awaiting decisions.

The justices have 23 cases left to decide and are expected to wrap up their work by late June or early July. The court's next batch of opinions is scheduled to be released Thursday.

Several of the remaining cases could have major implications for immigration, executive power, election law, gun rights and cultural issues.

The high court already has issued two significant rulings this term. One narrowed the scope of Voting Rights Act protections in congressional redistricting disputes, while the other struck down Trump's tariff program, ruling that Congress had not authorized the trade measures.

Among the most closely watched cases still pending:

Birthright Citizenship

In Trump v. Barbara, the Court is reviewing Trump's executive order ending automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants and certain temporary visa holders.

Lower courts blocked the order, with one judge calling it "blatantly unconstitutional."

The dispute centers on the 14th Amendment, which states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."

Trump argues the provision has been interpreted too broadly.

Transgender Athletes

The court also is considering challenges to state laws barring biological males who identify as transgender from competing in girls' and women's sports.

Supporters say the laws protect fairness in women's athletics, while opponents contend they violate federal anti-discrimination laws and constitutional equal-protection guarantees.

Federal Agencies and Presidential Power

In Trump v. Slaughter, the court is weighing whether presidents may remove leaders of independent federal agencies without cause. The case stems from Trump's firing of Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter.

A ruling for Trump could significantly expand presidential authority over agencies traditionally insulated from White House control.

A related case, Trump v. Cook, involves Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and could determine whether Federal Reserve officials have greater protection from presidential removal.

Mail-In Ballots

In Watson v. Republican National Committee, the court will decide whether states may continue counting ballots that arrive after Election Day if they are postmarked on time.

Republicans argue federal law requires elections to be completed on Election Day, while states defending the practice contend they have constitutional authority to administer elections.

Temporary Protected Status

Two consolidated immigration cases, Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot, which were consolodated, challenge the administration's efforts to revoke Temporary Protected Status for migrants from countries facing war, natural disasters or other crises.

The administration argues such decisions fall within executive authority and are not subject to court review.

Geofencing and Privacy

In Chatrie v. United States, the court is examining whether law enforcement's use of geofence warrants violates Fourth Amendment protections.

Critics argue the practice – which entails drawing a virtual geographical fence around an area where a crime was committed – sweeps up data from large numbers of innocent people, while supporters say it is a valuable crime-fighting tool.

Gun Rights

The court is also considering two Second Amendment cases involving restrictions on carrying firearms onto private property and a federal law barring drug users from possessing guns.

The decisions could provide further guidance on how courts should evaluate gun laws under the Supreme Court's 2022 Bruen ruling, which requires that modern firearm restrictions be rooted in the nation's historical tradition of gun regulation.

With only weeks remaining in the term, the court's final rulings are expected to shape some of the most significant legal and political battles facing the Trump administration.
