"Court after court has blocked key measures of his agenda, from global tariffs to immigration policy, including the freeze on funds for Harvard University.

Troops were sent to Washington under the pretext of crime prevention, with threats to deploy them to other Democratic-run cities. Ongoing appeals elevate the Supreme Court's role in resolving these disputes and shaping lasting precedent.
