The Heat: US Supreme Court | Landmark rulings

The US Supreme Court ended its term with major decisions on some issues closely watched around the world. The justices ruled against President Trump's attempt to limit automatic birthright citizenship for those born in the United States, while clearing the way for tougher asylum and deportation policies.

In another defeat for the administration, the court also preserved mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day. Together, the Court's decisions will shape who can enter the United States, who can vote, and how America's democracy is viewed abroad. #Heat #USPolitics #SupremeCourt #birthrightcitizenship #USimmigration #mailinvoting #Trump
