The Supreme Court is heading into the final weeks of its term with major ruling still

to come. NPR's Kerry Johnson reports the justices are expected to decide nearly 2,000 cases, including a challenge to President Trump's order on birthright citizenship.

The biggest case of this term and the one that's most important to President Trump involves

immigration, specifically that executive order he signed on day one after he returned to the White House. That order would strip the guarantee of birthright citizenship to babies born on American soil. For more than a century, people have understood the 14th Amendment to ensure all persons born here are Americans.

At oral argument, the Trump administration had a rough go of things, even several of the conservative justices cast doubt on the administration's position. That's NPR's Kerry Johnson reporting.

Police in Toledo are searching for suspects after at least 12 people were shot during a community street fair on Saturday. George Crawl, the city's director of public safety, is asking residents to review cell phone

video and photos that could help investigators.

I am imploring my fellow Toledoans to look through your cell phone video and reach out to TPD and help them catch the people who did this. Toledo Councilman John Hobbes also spoke shortly after the shooting. What happened is not a reflection of what our city is and what we stand for. And so we are hoping that as a community we will come together and get this solved quickly.

Two people remain in critical condition.
