"The case, Trump v. Barbara, turns on the Trump administration's argument that the Fourteenth Amendment does not actually mean what its text states and what nearly everyone has agreed it says for more than 150 years."
"This egalitarian guarantee was, however, unsatisfactory to Trump. On the first day of his second term in office, he released an executive order purporting to deny citizenship to the U.S.-born children of certain immigrants."
The Supreme Court heard arguments regarding birthright citizenship, with Donald Trump present in the courtroom. His executive order aimed to deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of certain immigrants. Despite Trump's presence, justices appeared skeptical of his policy, suggesting a potential strike down. The case hinges on the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, which has historically guaranteed citizenship to all born in the U.S. The administration's stance challenges over 150 years of legal precedent established after the Civil War.
