Disagreements between Supreme Court justices bubble into public view as major rulings loom

Supreme Court justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor publicly exchanged remarks during a ruling on immigration policies, with Sotomayor reading a dissent that referenced a 1939 incident involving Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. The exchange, which included Alito expressing surprise at Sotomayor's remarks, occurred as the court prepares to issue major rulings on issues tied to President Donald Trump's policies. Previous tensions among justices, including a public apology from Sotomayor to Brett Kavanaugh and a public disagreement between Kavanaugh and Ketanji Brown Jackson, have also emerged this term.
