Supreme Court justices skeptical of Trump order to restrict birthright citizenship

Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism Wednesday toward President Donald Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship, signaling potential legal obstacles to his immigration policy. Trump's directive challenges the 14th Amendment's longstanding guarantee of citizenship to children born on U.S. soil, a principle upheld for over 150 years. The justices' hesitation suggests the Court may not uphold the order, which would represent a major defeat for the administration's hardline immigration agenda. The case will likely determine whether Trump can unilaterally reinterpret constitutional citizenship rights or whether Congress must act to change the law. A ruling against the order would preserve automatic citizenship for U.S.-born children regardless of their parents' immigration status.
