The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from oil companies, including Suncor and Exxon, over whether federal law preempts state climate‑damage suits — an appeal backed publicly by former President Trump and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Court is simultaneously intervening in other high‑profile matters, including a challenge over a private ICE contractor allegedly forcing detainees to clean common areas and a case testing whether federal law criminalizes marijuana use by gun owners.
