Episode Details

The Supreme Court deliberated on President Trumps executive order aiming to abolish birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents or temporary visa holders. The justices appeared inclined to uphold the long-standing rule from the Fourteenth Amendment, granting citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. under U.S. jurisdiction. Trump attended the arguments, following a previous court defeat on tariff plans. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued for a narrow interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, but conservative and liberal justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts, opposed this view. The ACLUs Cecillia Wang emphasized the historical precedent set by the 1898 Wong Kim Ark ruling, which established birthright citizenship for almost everyone born in the U.S., regardless of parents status. Experts warned that ending birthright citizenship could render millions stateless. Lower courts had previously blocked the order, and the Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling by late June or early July, potentially impacting Trumps immigration agenda.
