The U.S. Supreme Court is currently dealing with a series of high-profile cases scrutinizing the actions and policies of President Donald Trump and his administration. Since returning to office in January, Trump has faced legal challenges across various sectors, including federal agency independence, immigration reforms, and executive powers.

Of notable concern is Trump's attempt to dismiss Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, which poses a significant legal question about the Fed's autonomy from political interference. Similarly, Trump's authority to implement sweeping economic policies, such as tariffs, is under legal examination, testing the boundaries of executive influence.

Immigration policies are also at the forefront, with the administration seeking to end deportation protections for Venezuelans and enforce rigorous immigration raids. As these legal battles unfold, they highlight the ongoing tension between executive power and judiciary oversight.
