Birthright Citizenship and Trump: Court Could Redefine Who’s American

The Supreme Court has officially agreed to review President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship — a major pillar of his immigration agenda and one of the most debated constitutional issues in the country. For more than 150 years, the U.S. has recognized anyone born on American soil as a citizen. But Trump’s executive order challenges that understanding, arguing that the 14th Amendment was never meant to cover children of undocumented immigrants or temporary visitors.
