Who gets to be an American? Justices to hear arguments in birthright citizenship fight
The US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case that will decide the future of birthright citizenship in the US. The case challenges President Donald Trump's executive order ending citizenship for babies born to people who are in the country illegally or temporarily.
The US Supreme Court is set to hear a case on birthright citizenship. President Trump issued an executive order ending citizenship for babies born to people in the country illegally or temporarily. The order has been blocked by lower court rulings. The Supreme Court will decide whether these rulings should stand. The case centers on the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause. The Trump administration argues it was never intended to extend citizenship universally. The law has long held that anyone born on American soil is an American citizen. The Supreme Court's ruling is expected in June or July.
