The Supreme Court issued decisions Tuesday on several cases, including reversing a lower court ruling that had sided with immigration judges in a free speech lawsuit.

The immigration judges case centered on work-related restrictions placed on their public speaking engagements. In 2020, a group of immigration judges challenged these limitations, arguing they violated their First Amendment free speech rights. A lower court had initially ruled in favor of the judges, but the Supreme Court reversed that decision.

The case involves broader questions about the extent of free speech protections for federal employees and judges in specialized immigration courts. Immigration judges operate within the Department of Justice and face various administrative restrictions on their activities outside their official duties.

Separately, the Court declined to hear Florida's legal challenge against California and Washington state regarding commercial driver's license requirements. Florida's lawsuit sought to ensure that states only issue commercial driving licenses to individuals with legal presence in the United States and English proficiency. The case arose amid reports of fatal crashes involving truck drivers across the country.

The Supreme Court also refused to take up Meta's challenge to a Vermont lawsuit related to social media addiction. These decisions reflect the Court's selective approach to which cases it agrees to review from the thousands of petitions it receives annually.
