Supreme Court grants Trump wins on immigration, strikes down Hawaii gun ban

The U.S. Supreme Court has recently delivered a series of significant rulings, including a past decision that bolstered the Trump administration's immigration policies. In August 2021, the Court allowed the controversial "Remain in Mexico" asylum policy to be reinstated, effectively compelling the Biden administration to continue the Trump-era directive that required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their court hearings.

On June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court issued two other major decisions. One ruling struck down a Hawaii law that imposed strict limits on carrying guns in public, a victory for gun rights advocates that aligns with positions previously argued by the Trump administration. This decision further broadens Second Amendment protections by curtailing states' authority to prohibit firearms in publicly accessible private spaces unless property owners explicitly forbid them.

Also on June 25, 2026, the Court provided a win for corporate liability by overturning a major cancer verdict. The justices sided with Bayer, the manufacturer of Roundup weedkiller, determining that federal regulations concerning pesticide labeling supersede state-level lawsuits alleging a failure to warn consumers about cancer risks. The Trump administration had previously supported the company in this legal challenge.
