Trump’s Power Surge Amid Legal Shifts | San Antonio News

Trump’s Supreme Court term ends with a mixed but ultimately powerful win: while he lost key battles like the birthright citizenship case and global tariffs, his presidency has gained unprecedented control over federal agencies and executive authority. The court, led by a conservative majority, has dismantled a 90-year-old precedent allowing presidential firing of agency heads without cause, while also shielding his immigration crackdowns and partisan gerrymandering.

Though some rulings didn’t fully go his way, Trump’s influence is undeniable — reshaping the balance of power, agency independence, and civil rights for years to come.
