The United States Supreme Court issued several significant rulings on Tuesday, June 30. The court upheld birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, rejecting a challenge from the White House. In a separate decision, the highest judicial body validated state laws that prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women's school and university sports, stating that states can determine eligibility based on biological sex. Additionally, the court lifted a cap on individual campaign contributions, a move that could influence upcoming mid-term elections. Separately, President Donald Trump announced a Republican convention in Texas for September, aiming to bolster party support ahead of the mid-term polls. Sources: Le Monde
