Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos

The Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos, or the Supreme Court of the United States, is the highest court in the federal judiciary of the United States. Composed of nine justices, it holds ultimate (and largely discretionary) appellate jurisdiction over all federal and state court cases that involve a point of U.S. federal statutory or constitutional law. The Supreme Court is newsworthy because it recently heard arguments regarding the legality of a presidential order issued by Donald Trump aimed at limiting birthright citizenship. The justices, a majority of whom are considered conservative (6 conservative, 3 progressive), expressed skepticism about the order's legality. This case highlights the Court's role in interpreting the Constitution and its impact on fundamental rights, making its decisions highly relevant to ongoing debates about immigration and citizenship.
