The conservative-led court is taking up the case amid actions by President Donald Trump targeting transgender people, including a ban on military service and an end to federal funding for gender-affirming care for transgender minors.

The Supreme Court heard consolidated oral argument in TikTok v. Garland and Firebaugh v. Garland, a case about TikTok's First Amendment challenge to a law requiring the app to divest from Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a nationwide ban. ByteDance, TikTok, and content creators argued the law violated the First Amendment, but the Justice Department maintained TikTok was a national security risk due to ultimate ownership under China. In December 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit upheld the law, which takes effect Jan. 19, 2025. ByteDance and TikTok then filed an emergency appeal. President-elect Donald Trump, who tried to get TikTok banned during his first term, reversed course and filed a brief asking the Court to temporarily block the law so he could "pursue a political resolution" in the dispute January 10, 2025
