Chief Justice John Roberts provided the crucial vote, joining the court’s Democratic-appointed justices in a 5-4 ruling. The decision was the third loss for President Donald Trump in recent weeks; Roberts previously cast the pivotal vote blocking him from scrapping the deferred-deportation program, or DACA, and he joined a 6-3 ruling that said federal law bars discrimination against gay and transgender workers.—Josh Petri
