Supreme Court expresses skepticism over Trump order to end birthright citizenship

President Trump attended oral arguments at the Supreme Court challenging his executive order to end birthright citizenship, but the justices signaled doubt about the legal basis for the policy during questioning. The order, which would eliminate automatic U.S. citizenship for children born to non-citizen parents on American soil, directly conflicts with the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to all persons born in the country. Trump's presence in the courtroom underscored the White House's priority on the immigration issue, which has been a centerpiece of his second-term agenda. The skepticism expressed by the justices suggests the Court may be reluctant to uphold an executive order that would require reinterpreting a constitutional amendment without congressional action. A decision against the administration would represent a significant legal setback for one of Trump's signature immigration policies.
