These 11 upcoming Supreme Court decisions could make or break Trump’s second term agenda
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As the Supreme Court enters the final stretch of its term, a flood of closely watched decisions could determine not only the fate of several of President Donald Trump’s key policy priorities but also the scope of presidential authority for years to come.
Around the marbled halls and chambers, the final weeks of June are often known as «flood season,» the annual rush to complete opinions before the justices leave Washington for their summer recess. The nine justices and their law clerks are on tight, self-imposed deadlines to write and circulate final drafts of opinions in cases big and small.
This year, 23 cases remain unresolved after the court heard arguments in nearly 60 disputes during the term. Among them are four appeals involving executive actions by Trump, two election-related disputes and separate questions involving gun rights and transgender rights.
Several of the remaining disputes share a common thread: how much power a president can exercise over federal policy and the executive branch. The rulings could significantly affect Trump’s ability to advance his second-term agenda, particularly on immigration and government oversight, while further defining the boundaries between the White House, Congress and the courts.

The court’s last day before its traditional summer recess is still unknown, even to its nine members, but they hope to finish up by month’s end. However, given the divided court’s compressed workload, that is no guarantee.
Here are 11 remaining opinions that we are closely watching.
Trump v. Barbara
Arguably the most closely watched Supreme Court case remaining to be decided, this challenge centers on President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, an effort to limit automatic citizenship for children born to parents who entered the country illegally.
The case could define the limits of presidential power by determining whether a president can change a longstanding interpretation of citizenship law without Congress.
Trump made history by personally attending oral arguments in March, becoming the first sitting president to do so — but that did not seem to matter.
The Supreme Court openly pushed back against the administration’s sweeping efforts to restrict who can be called an American, expressing varying levels of skepticism about the claim a citizenship «privilege» has been historically abused and wrongly granted to those whose parents were in the country illegally or temporarily.
A ruling against Trump would affirm the longstanding legal, political and social consensus supporting the idea of granting automatic citizenship to all babies born in the country, regardless of their parents’ immigration or temporary visitor status.

Mullin v. Doe, Dahlia; Trump v. Miot
Immigration-related executive power is also at the center of Mullin v. Doe, Dahlia and Trump v. Miot, cases involving the administration’s effort to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections from certain Haitian and Syrian migrants living in the U.S.
The TPS program currently covers roughly 1.3 million people fleeing war and natural disasters from 17 countries and allows them to live and work in the country for a limited time.
CHECKS AND BALANCES: TRUMP, SUPPORTERS SEEK TO PUSH BACK AGAINST ‘ACTIVIST’ JUDGES
The administration argues the Department of Homeland Security has broad discretion to end some Temporary Protected Status protections for migrants from certain countries, arguing protections are intended to be temporary. Migrant advocates counter that federal law requires specific procedures and allows courts to review those decisions.
The conservative court majority has signaled its support for the Homeland Security secretary’s discretionary power to revoke deportation protections for 13 countries on the TPS list.
SUPREME COURT PREPARES FOR MAJOR TEST OF PRESIDENTIAL POWER IN TRUMP EFFORTS TO FIRE FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNOR
Trump v. Cook; Trump v. Slaughter
In Trump v. Cook, the justices are weighing whether Trump can dismiss Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
Based on January’s oral arguments, the court appears ready to give President Trump one of his biggest legal setbacks in office, offering strong support for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook remaining in her leadership position — at least for now.
The questions of presidential power deal with whether Trump has broad unilateral executive authority to fire someone from the central bank, despite its special status as a stand-alone federal agency.
In arguments, most on the court seemed skeptical of Trump’s actions.
«That’s your position that there’s no judicial review, no process required, no remedy available?» Justice Brett Kavanaugh told the Justice Department’s Solicitor General D. John Sauer. «Very low bar for ‘cause’ that the president alone determines? I mean, that would weaken, if not shatter, the independence of the Federal Reserve.»
But a separate case involving presidential firing authority, Trump v. Slaughter, could have even broader implications. Former Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter is challenging her removal from the agency, setting up a direct test of a 1935 Supreme Court precedent set in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States that limits a president’s ability to fire members of independent regulatory commissions except only for «cause.»
A ruling favoring the administration could strengthen presidential control over agencies that regulate everything from communications and consumer safety to labor policy and financial markets, and a ruling in Slaughter’s favor could greatly restrict the president’s powers.

The stakes could be enormous for how the federal government is run. Independent regulatory agencies and boards help manage almost every aspect of American life — from transportation safety, labor relations and the environment to Social Security and finance. Agencies include the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Reserve.
National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission
At issue is a federal law that caps coordinated spending between political parties and candidates running for Congress and the White House.
The high court in recent years, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, has tossed aside congressionally enacted federal campaign spending limits.
THE BIGGEST SUPREME COURT DECISIONS OF 2024: FROM PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY TO OVERTURNING THE CHEVRON DOCTRINE
And the six conservative justices appear ready to do so again, and could upend a nearly quarter-century opinion limiting how the major political parties spend tens of millions of dollars, much of it going to television advertising.
The dispute underscores a divide over whether campaign spending restrictions intended to prevent corruption improperly infringe on free speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.
Watson v. Republican National Committee
At issue is a Mississippi law allowing election officials to count mail-in ballots received after Election Day, provided they were mailed on time.
SCOTUS CONSERVATIVES SIGNAL READINESS TO CURB LATE-ARRIVING MAIL BALLOTS
Mississippi is one of about 14 states, the District of Columbia and three territories that permit a grace period ranging from one day to several weeks during which regular ballots can be counted, so long as those ballots are postmarked on or before Election Day.
That is currently the case in California, where final results from the June 2 election may not be known for another couple of weeks or more.
The justices are deciding whether federal Election Day statutes preempt various state laws and may clarify exactly what «the election» means when it comes to the casting and receipt of ballots.
The outcome could rest with Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who could cast the deciding votes.
Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J.
The court is also considering a pair of cases involving transgender athletes and school sports. In Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., the justices are weighing whether state laws that restrict transgender girls and women from competing on female athletic teams violate the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause or federal protections under Title IX.
Almost 30 states have laws limiting participation for transgender females who were designated male at birth, in both public school and college athletics, and officials say their restrictions are a matter of ensuring a level playing field and student safety.
SUPREME COURT TO REVIEW STATE BANS ON TRANSGENDER ATHLETES’ PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL SPORTS
But lawyers for a high school sophomore and a college senior counter those prohibitions are clearly discriminatory, and that the issues should be about equality and dignity for every student, free from politics and misinformation.
The high court is examining whether the laws unconstitutionally discriminate on the basis of sex.
Wolford v. Lopez
The challenge targets a Hawaii law that prohibits individuals, including concealed-carry permit holders, from bringing firearms onto private property open to the public unless the owner has expressly granted permission.
This case could come down to whether property rights trump gun rights, and how those rights interact.
GUN RIGHTS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY DEBATED AT SUPREME COURT
A group of gun owners in Maui are challenging those default permission rules, arguing the law improperly makes it a crime to bear arms even where the owner of property accessible to the public is merely silent. They refer to these laws as «vampire rules,» a nod to the legend of Dracula, who could not enter a room without being invited.
But Hawaii officials told the high court the restrictions balance gun and property rights, citing a long tradition in the Aloha State of limiting all kinds of dangerous weapons, dating back to when it was a monarchy.
United States v. Hemani
A separate Second Amendment case still unresolved deals with the federal government’s law banning people with a «habitual» use of marijuana from legally keeping a firearm.

The «guns and ganja» dispute centers on whether the widespread use of cannabis in recent decades — legal in some form in 40 states — makes criminalizing «mere possession» contingent on firearm ownership.
The same law was applied to former President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, who was convicted under Section 922(g)(3), which bars any «unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance» from possessing a firearm.

Donald Trump pidió frenar los ataques en Medio Oriente y aseguró que el acuerdo con Irán está “muy cerca”
Donald Trump instó a todas las partes involucradas en el conflicto de Medio Oriente a evitar una nueva escalada de violencia, en un mensaje enfocado en la inminente posibilidad de firmar el tan ansiado acuerdo de paz con el régimen de Irán.
En un mensaje publicado en Truth Social, el presidente norteamericano subrayó que el reciente ataque israelí contra un bastión de Hezbollah en Beirut no debió ocurrir, especialmente cuando las negociaciones para un acuerdo parecen encontrarse en una etapa decisiva. Sin embargo, reconoció el derecho de Israel de defenderse de los ataques del grupo terrorista.
“El ataque de esta mañana contra Beirut no debería haber ocurrido, sobre todo en un día tan especial en el que estamos tan cerca de alcanzar un acuerdo de paz con Irán. Israel tiene derecho a defenderse de las amenazas, pero el ataque al que respondía fue muy leve e insignificante; nadie resultó herido ni murió, y no debería entorpecer este importante proceso”, apuntó.
El mensaje de Trump llegó después del bombardeo israelí contra un edificio de apartamentos en el vecindario de Dahiya, en Beirut, que dejó al menos tres muertos y quince heridos, de acuerdo con la agencia oficial de noticias libanesa NNA. El ataque, que empleó misiles guiados por láser, causó daños importantes en inmuebles y comercios cercanos. Israel argumentó que actuó en represalia por ataques previos de Hezbollah contra su territorio.
“Estamos muy cerca de un acuerdo que traerá la paz a la región, incluido el Líbano, y todas las partes deberían mantener la calma. No debería haber más ataques por parte de Israel en ningún lugar del Líbano, pero tampoco debería haber más ataques por parte de ninguna otra parte, incluido Hezbolá, contra Israel. Este podría ser el comienzo de una paz larga y hermosa: ¡no lo echemos a perder!», completó el jefe de Estado, quien este domingo cumple 80 años.
El ataque en Beirut se produjo en un contexto de negociaciones delicadas entre Estados Unidos e Irán. Por parte del gobierno iraní, la reacción fue inmediata. El presidente del Parlamento y jefe del equipo negociador, Mohamed Baqer Qalifab, advirtió que el ataque israelí podría poner fin al diálogo abierto con Washington. Qalifab expresó su desconfianza en la capacidad de Estados Unidos para cumplir sus compromisos, señalando que los hechos demuestran que el gobierno estadounidense “o no tiene la voluntad de cumplir con sus compromisos o no tiene la capacidad para ello”. Añadió que, mientras Estados Unidos “dé luz verde” a las operaciones israelíes, el proceso negociador no podrá avanzar.
El jefe negociador iraní también subrayó que la firma de cualquier acuerdo depende del cese inmediato de los ataques israelíes en territorio libanés, particularmente en Dahiya, un área de alta densidad poblacional y centro de operaciones de Hezbollah, aliado estratégico de Teherán. Qalifab declaró en redes sociales: “El juego del ‘poli bueno’ y el ‘poli malo’ está pasado de moda. Si no tienen la voluntad ni la capacidad de cumplir con sus compromisos, no es posible continuar por este camino”.
El Ejército iraní, a través de su portavoz Sardar Asadi del centro de mando conjunto Jatam al Anbiya, prometió que los “crímenes contra los suburbios del sur no quedarán impunes”. Recordó que un episodio similar ocurrido el fin de semana anterior ya había desencadenado una respuesta militar iraní contra posiciones israelíes y estadounidenses en el golfo Pérsico.
La cancillería israelí respondió directamente en X a una publicación de Qalibaf, quien había cuestionado la voluntad y la capacidad de Washington para cumplir sus compromisos y advertido que, sin garantías concretas, no tenía sentido continuar las conversaciones. “El régimen iraní, como siempre, está mintiendo. El proxy de Irán, Hezbollah, es quien atacó a Israel nuevamente esta mañana, completamente sin provocación», respondió el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores israelí a través de su cuenta en X.
El desarrollo de los acontecimientos ha complicado la agenda diplomática prevista para este domingo. Según lo informado por la agencia semioficial de noticias Fars, los negociadores iraníes estaban reunidos en Teherán con una delegación de Qatar para revisar el borrador del acuerdo, aunque veían poco probable que se llegara a una firma en la fecha anunciada por Trump. Un portavoz de la delegación iraní indicó que “el examen de los aspectos políticos, legales y técnicos, a nivel de expertos, todavía continúa”.
Por su parte, el propio Trump había anticipado que la jornada de hoy sería clave para la firma de un memorándum de entendimiento con Irán. El documento contempla la reapertura inmediata del estrecho de Ormuz y el inicio de 60 días de negociaciones sobre el programa nuclear iraní y otros focos de tensión, bajo la premisa de un cese consolidado de hostilidades, con especial atención a la situación en Líbano.
El mensaje del presidente de Estados Unidos busca contener una nueva escalada militar y preservar la posibilidad de un entendimiento histórico con Irán. Las próximas horas serán decisivas para determinar si el proceso diplomático sobrevive al nuevo episodio de violencia o si se impone una nueva fase de confrontación en la región.

As Democrats seek to reclaim power in November’s midterm elections, some of the party’s long-standing progressives are in danger of losing their seats.
The warning signs are flashing red in hotly contested primaries across the country, from a longtime ally of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who is facing a challenger four decades younger, to a senior New York lawmaker seeking to fend off a Mamdani-backed opponent.
Not every race has a clear ideological divide, but every challenger is running on an anti-establishment message. Some are also advocating for generational change.

NY DEM WOULDN’T BACK MAMDANI FOR MAYOR — NOW MAMDANI IS BACKING HIS CHALLENGER
Though sitting lawmakers are historically difficult to defeat, a wave of anti-incumbent fever appears to be taking hold among voters. Four incumbents — including Reps. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, and Thomas Massie, R-Ky. — have already lost their re-election bids to primary challengers this cycle.
The following are the progressive lawmakers who could be next.
Dan Goldman
Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., 50, a prominent Trump foe who served as Democrats’ lead counsel during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, is running as an endangered incumbent in a Democratic-heavy district spanning Lower Manhattan and deep-blue pockets of Brooklyn.
Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, 56, who has the backing of Mamdani and leading progressives in Congress, is mounting an insurgent campaign from Goldman’s left. Leading progressive Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and the left-wing Working Families Party are also supporting his candidacy.
Goldman’s endorsements from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., may not be enough to secure a third House term. Recent polling of the race shows Lander carving out a significant lead despite Goldman, who is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, outspending the progressive challenger.

Though Goldman has faced attacks from the left, he is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC). He has also supported a bevy of far-left proposals, including the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Green New Deal legislation and Medicare-for-all. If Democrats retake power in November, he’s vowing to help lead a third impeachment of Trump.
But Israel has become a key fault line in the contest. Lander has sharply criticized the incumbent’s ties to the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC and his votes to supply Israel with military aid.

Lander has also labeled Israel’s war in Gaza a «genocide» — a term Goldman has distanced himself from. Both men are Jewish.
Adriano Espaillat
Mamdani is also seeking to flex his political muscle in another hotly contested New York City primary that could end the career of a senior progressive lawmaker.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, is facing a serious challenge from upstart candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, a socialist and activist who joined Columbia University’s pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

MAMDANI STANDS BY FELLOW SOCIALIST CANDIDATE DESPITE RESURFACED FAR-LEFT, ANTI-AMERICAN POSTS
Mamdani threw a wrench into Espaillat’s re-election bid when he made the surprise decision to endorse Avila Chevalier, 32, just weeks before the primary. The move has led to fierce backlash from some of the party’s establishment, who alleged that Mamdani privately pledged to Espaillat that he would support his bid for a sixth House term, multiple outlets reported.
Espaillat, 71, is seeking to fend off a challenge from his left flank despite membership in the Congressional Progressive Caucus and his support for ICE’s dismantlement. He has also touted his background as the first former illegal immigrant elected to Congress.
Avila Chevalier has sparked controversy over since-deleted social media posts in which she voiced support for open borders, abolishing the police and called former President Joe Biden a «rapist,» according to CNN.
The deep-blue district covering parts of Upper Manhattan and the West Bronx is a progressive stronghold that swung hard for Mamdani’s mayoral campaign last year. Espaillat notably did not endorse Mamdani’s campaign until after his primary win over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y.
Jeffries, who represents a neighboring Brooklyn district, has vowed to help give Espaillat a sixth House term.
«Adriano Espaillat has been a tremendous leader,» Jeffries told CNN on Tuesday. «He’s leading in terms of battling Donald Trump.»
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., a junior member of House Democratic leadership, is gearing up for a tough re-election fight after Republicans carved up her deep-blue seat during redistricting earlier this year.
The 11-term incumbent sparked controversy after filing to run in a plurality-Black district that has been represented by a Black lawmaker for more than three decades.

She is expected to face four Black opponents ahead of the August primary, including former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., who is making a long-shot run for the seat after resigning amid an expulsion threat earlier this year. Cherfilus-McCormick is also facing a pending federal criminal indictment over alleged financial crimes that could result in more than 50 years in prison if convicted.
BIG LOSS FOR DEMOCRAT WHO WANTED ‘ZIONISTS’ IN CAMPS MAY STILL SIGNAL BIG TROUBLE ON HORIZON
Local Black leaders publicly urged Wasserman Schultz to run for a different seat, but she moved forward with seeking the Democratic nomination in Florida’s 20th Congressional District.
While the four Black candidates have reportedly met to discuss unifying behind one individual to take on Wasserman Schultz, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., has thus far declined to bail her out.
The leading Democrat has repeatedly stopped short of offering his endorsement when asked by reporters, despite his long track record of backing incumbents. Jeffries has issued effusive praise for Wasserman Schultz’s record in Congress but signaled his concern that the incumbent’s victory could potentially decrease Black representation in Congress.
«I think we all recognize the sensitivities of the moment in terms of an unprecedented Jim Crow-like assault on Black political representation that has been unleashed by the Supreme Court’s outrageous decision to gut the Voting Rights Act,» Jeffries said during a news conference earlier in June when asked about Wasserman Schultz’s candidacy. «And it’s an environment that all of us need to be sensitive to as we move forward.»

HOUSE DEMOCRATS’ CAMPAIGN ARM DRAWS PROGRESSIVE FURY FOR TRYING TO ‘TIP THE SCALES’ IN KEY HOUSE PRIMARY
Doris Matsui
Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Calif., advanced to November’s general election after surviving California’s top-two primary system last week, but her leftist challenger received a higher share of the vote.
Mai Vang, 41, a progressive Sacramento city councilmember campaigning on generational change, is seeking to unseat Matsui, 81, who is twice her age. As of Thursday, Vang outperformed Matsui by one percentage point in the primary contest.

The Democratic candidates will face off for the Democratic-leaning district in November after shutting out the single Republican in the race.
Matsui has represented the Sacramento-anchored district for more than two decades and has never faced a serious primary challenger prior to Vang. Her husband, Robert Matsui, previously represented the seat for roughly 25 years prior to his death in 2005.
Matsui has long allied herself with Pelosi, who endorsed her reelection campaign for a 12th House term. She has also donated to her campaign.

Vang is endorsed by the progressive, anti-incumbent organization Justice Democrats and Our Revolution, a group formed by Sanders staffers after his failed 2016 presidential campaign.
She faced scrutiny during the primary contest after videos surfaced of her refusing to face the American flag and say the Pledge of Allegiance during city council meetings.
Al Green
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, one of Trump’s most vocal critics in Congress, lost his bid for a 12th House term in May.
Green, 78, came up short in a Democratic primary runoff election for a Houston-area district against Rep. Christian Menefee, D-Texas, 38. The two incumbents faced off for a Democratic-heavy district after Republicans’ redistricting efforts effectively forced both men to compete for the same seat.
Menefee, who was first elected to Congress in February, is seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party and ran on a message of new leadership.

REP AL GREEN TELLS HOMELAND SECURITY SEC MULLIN SHUT CALLING RACIST HEARING
Green faced widespread backlash over disrupting Trump’s addresses to Congress two years in a row. After his outburst toward the president during a 2025 speech, Green was formally censured by Congress in a bipartisan vote.
Green has also repeatedly tried to impeach Trump. His most recent impeachment attempts since Trump retook office in 2025 were scuttled in part by Democratic opposition.
Trump mocked Green after his primary loss in a post on Truth Social.
«Congratulations to the Dumocrat Party!» Trump wrote. «Al Green, one of the most mentally deficient Congressmen in the history of our Country, has lost, in a landslide, his seat in Congress — but I will miss that lunatic not screaming and violently waving his cane at me during my next State of the Union Speech.»

Fin de semana mortal en los Alpes: siete montañistas fallecieron tras una ola de accidentes
Una serie de accidentes mortales en cadena ha sacudido la región de los Alpes, dejando un saldo de al menos siete montañistas muertos en tres sectores diferentes de la cordillera. Según los boletines oficiales emitidos por las autoridades de rescate de Francia e Italia, la combinación de desprendimientos imprevistos y condiciones meteorológicas extremas desencadenó la peor jornada para el alpinismo europeo en lo que va de la temporada.
El incidente más grave ocurrió en el norte de Italia, en el macizo del Gran Paradiso. El Cuerpo Nacional de Socorro Alpino y Espeleológico (CNSAS) del Valle de Aosta informó que tres escaladores de nacionalidad italiana cayeron al vacío mientras ascendían la exigente cara norte de la montaña.
De acuerdo con el reporte técnico del director del equipo de rescate local, Paolo Comune, difundido en los balances de emergencia recopilados por el medio especializado The-Ski-Guru, las víctimas, identificadas como hombres de 29, 39 y 49 años, progresaban en una línea encordada cuando uno de ellos perdió el equilibrio a unos 3.500 metros de altitud, arrastrando al grupo en una caída libre de casi 400 metros sobre el hielo.
De forma simultánea, el área del Mont Blanc registró tres bajas en la vertiente francesa, según confirmaron los despachos de la Gendarmería de Alta Montaña (PGHM) de Chamonix. La unidad policial reportó el hallazgo de los cuerpos de dos hermanos franceses, de 24 y 25 años, en las inmediaciones del Mont Maudit, detallando que ambos se vieron sorprendidos por un brusco cambio en las condiciones del terreno durante las primeras horas del sábado.
Pocas horas más tarde, la misma PGHM confirmó que un tercer deportista de origen francés falleció tras precipitarse desde una altura estimada en 1.000 metros en el espolón de Brenva, una de las rutas más técnicas del macizo.
La última fatalidad de esta secuencia se localizó en el Cervino (Matterhorn), donde las agencias de rescate del Servicio de Socorro Alpino del Cervino informaron a los corresponsales regionales la recuperación del cuerpo de otro montañista francés que cayó en el sector del Pic Tyndall, a más de 4.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
Expertos del Sindicato Nacional de Guías de Montaña (SNGM) advirtieron en un comunicado que las cordilleras alpinas presentan actualmente una inestabilidad térmica anómala. Los voceros del organismo explicaron que el aumento drástico de las temperaturas veraniegas ha acelerado el derretimiento de las capas superficiales de nieve compacta, dejando expuesto el “hielo negro”, una superficie sumamente resbaladiza y dura que inutiliza los sistemas tradicionales de anclaje y crampones.
A esto se suma el riesgo constante de desprendimientos de rocas, provocado por la degradación del permafrost —el suelo congelado que actúa como cemento natural en las paredes de roca—, transformando rutas habitualmente seguras en trampas impredecibles.
Las misiones de recuperación del fin de semana requirieron el despliegue de múltiples helicópteros y especialistas en rescate vertical debido a la complejidad de los accesos.
El director del Socorro Alpino Valdostano, Paolo Comune, dijo que aunque las condiciones generales no son de alarma extrema, la escasa cantidad de nieve obliga a tomar precauciones atípicas: “Si queremos programar gite (excursiones) debemos calcular como si estuviéramos hacia mitad o fines de julio”.
El organismo cerró la jornada con un mensaje de condolencias oficial titulado “Estamos cerca de las familias” ante las complejas 24 horas vividas en la región.
