As of June 25-26, 2026, the Supreme Court has 8 undecided cases remaining from the argued cases in its 2025-2026 term.

The Court plans to issue opinions in some or all of them on Monday, June 29, along with a "clean-up" order list.

Major Pending Cases (Based on Recent Reporting)

These high-profile cases are among those still awaiting decisions. Note that exact lists can shift slightly as opinions issue, and not all 8 are equally prominent:

• Birthright citizenship (Trump v. Barbara or similar): Challenge to President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment for children of non-citizens (including those here illegally or on temporary visas). Lower courts blocked it as unconstitutional.

• Transgender athletes in sports (Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J.): Challenges to state laws banning transgender girls/women from competing in women's school/college sports. Issues involve equal protection, Title IX, and fairness.

• Independent agency removals / presidential power (Trump v. Slaughter): Whether statutory "for cause" protections for FTC commissioners (and similar independent agencies) violate separation of powers; potential to overrule or limit Humphrey’s Executor.

• Federal Reserve / central bank independence (Trump v. Cook): Related to attempts to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook; tests limits on presidential firing power for the Fed specifically.

• Mail-in / late ballots (Watson v. Republican National Committee): Whether states can count mail-in ballots received after Election Day (if postmarked on time), under federal election law and state authority.

• Geofence warrants (Chatrie v. United States): Fourth Amendment challenge to warrants requiring tech companies (e.g., Google) to search location data for all devices in a geographic area around a crime scene.

Some TPS/immigration cases (e.g., Mullin v. Doe / Trump v. Miot) were decided on June 25 in favor of the administration's authority to end protections.

Other Context

The term involved roughly 58-59 argued cases total, with the Court having issued around 54+ opinions by late June (plus some decided without argument). Remaining cases often include a mix of the highest-profile ones and a few narrower ones.

Major decisions are expected soon to wrap up the term before the summer recess.
