Supreme Court Term Opens with Administration Cases

Why it matters locally: Louisiana, as a border state with significant immigration activity, could see direct impacts on its communities and economy from Supreme Court decisions regarding federal immigration policies.

WASHINGTON D.C. -- The Supreme Court of the United States commenced its new term, with upcoming cases that include challenges to the administration's immigration policies. The court has delivered rulings both for and against the administration in previous terms. The President has publicly commented on the court's decisions, including expressing criticism of justices following some unfavorable outcomes. However, a review of past decisions indicates the administration has a favorable record in cases brought before the court. Upcoming cases will address various aspects of the administration's agenda. These include multiple immigration-related policies.
