Live updates: Supreme Court heard birthright citizenship case with Trump in attendance - The Washington Post

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case challenging birthright citizenship with President Trump attending the proceedings. The case directly implicates the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause, which has guaranteed automatic citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil since Reconstruction. A decision to restrict birthright citizenship would represent a seismic shift in immigration and constitutional law, potentially affecting millions of Americans and their descendants. The Trump administration has signaled support for challenging the current interpretation of the amendment. The Court's ruling, expected later this term, will determine whether Congress can legislate restrictions on who automatically receives citizenship at birth.
