US Supreme Court to Weigh Trump's Birthright Citizenship Order

  • US Supreme Court to hear challenge to Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship.
  • Trump's order aimed to deny citizenship to children born in the US to undocumented immigrants or temporary residents.
  • The case re-examines the 14th Amendment's interpretation, which has historically granted citizenship to nearly all born on US soil.
  • Federal courts previously blocked the policy as unconstitutional, citing over a century of precedent including the 1898 Wong Kim Ark decision.
  • A ruling is anticipated by late June or early July, setting up a politically significant decision during an election year.

Why It Matters: This case could fundamentally change US birthright citizenship.
