The U.S. Supreme Court, nearing the end of its term, issued two consequential 6-3 rulings. It upheld birthright citizenship, which President Donald Trump had tried to abolish early in his second term. Separately, the justices ruled that states may bar transgender women from girls' and women's sports, backing legislation like Georgia’s Riley Gaines Act. Trump responded on Truth Social with a statement celebrating the sports decision. The ban’s scope remains unspecified, potentially affecting all levels of athletics. LGBTQ advocates voiced concerns about the ruling’s impact on young athletes.
