Episode Details

The Supreme Court is set to decide on President Trumps executive order targeting birthright citizenship, aiming to overhaul borders. The order, which aims to scrap the Fourteenth Amendments Citizenship Clause and federal immigration laws, has been deemed likely unconstitutional by lower courts. Trumps team argues the amendment was meant for freed slaves kids, not those born to undocumented folks or temporary visitors. The case, Trump v. Barbara, has skipped appeals and is now before the justices. Opponents, including the ACLU, call it a direct attack on a core American right, while Trump has hinted at another legal challenge. The legal battle centers on the meaning of subject to the jurisdiction thereof in the Fourteenth Amendment. A ruling is expected by late June or early July, potentially redefining who counts as American from birth.
