Supreme Court pokes holes in Trump's birthright citizenship case

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on President Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship, with several justices signaling skepticism about the legal theory underlying his challenge. Trump's case seeks to overturn the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to those born on U.S. soil, a provision enacted after the Civil War to guarantee rights to formerly enslaved people and their descendants. The justices' pointed questions suggest potential fractures in support for the administration's position, though the court's conservative majority could still rule in Trump's favor. A decision would likely reshape immigration law and citizenship eligibility for millions of people born to non-citizen parents in the United States. The case represents one of the most consequential citizenship challenges in decades and reflects the Trump administration's broader push to restrict immigration and redefine who qualifies as an American.
