    Supreme Court upholds Biden regulation making ghost guns easier to trace
    Mar 26 2025
    The Supreme Court upheld Biden-era regulations on ghost guns. Those are firearms that can be put together at home with partially assembled kits, making them nearly impossible to trace. Sales of those guns exploded after they came onto the market and their use in gun crimes also rose significantly. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Jennifer Mascia of The Trace, which covers gun violence in America. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

    What justices said during a critical Supreme Court hearing on redistricting and race
    Mar 24 2025
    The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a key redistricting case that could reshape how states draw districts by race.

    The history and legacy of birthright citizenship in the U.S.
    Feb 4 2025
    On his first day in office, President Trump signed an executive order to end universal birthright citizenship and limit it at birth to people with at least one parent who is a permanent resident or citizen. A federal judge put the order on hold, but if upheld, Trump’s move could upend a 120-year Supreme Court precedent. Stephanie Sy reports on the history and legacy of that case.

    The clock is ticking on TikTok with potential ban coming this weekend

They argued that Chinese control of the platform was a national security threat. Geoff Bennett discussed the latest developments with Carrie Cordero of the Center for a New American Security.

    Jan 10 2025
    In a matter of days, one of the most popular social media apps in the country could pull the plug if the Supreme Court doesn’t grant it a legal reprieve. Concerns about TikTok's Chinese ownership led Congress to pass a law that would ban it in the United States unless its parent company sells it.
