Part of situation: US Supreme Court 2026-27 term docket (2 clusters)

Supreme Court begins new term with major climate and immigration cases

Supreme Court climate change litigation Second Amendment immigration policy voting rights

The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term on Monday, October 5, 2026, facing a docket of high-stakes cases involving climate change, immigration, gun rights, and presidential authority.

A primary focus is Suncor Energy v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, which will determine if energy companies can be held liable in state court for damages related to climate change, or if federal law preempts such claims. The outcome could impact numerous similar lawsuits filed by states and municipalities.

Other major issues include the constitutionality of bans on semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15, the legitimacy of state-level voter citizenship requirements, and the legality of the Trump administration’s mandatory detention policies for undocumented immigrants. The term is also expected to address questions regarding the boundaries of executive power and religious freedom in relation to taxpayer-funded education.
