Supreme Court takes up Trump birthright citizenship order in high-profile oral arguments - Fox News
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship.
AI Summary
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on President Trump's executive order challenging birthright citizenship, a constitutional guarantee dating to the 14th Amendment that automatically grants citizenship to children born in the United States. The case represents one of the most significant constitutional tests of Trump's second term and directly challenges long-established immigration policy. Legal challenges to the order have moved rapidly through federal courts, and the justices' questions during arguments will signal how the court may rule on whether the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause can be narrowed by executive action. The outcome will affect potentially millions of people born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents and reshape immigration law if the administration prevails. A decision is expected before the court's term ends in June.
