"Driving the news: Upholding Trump's order, which seeks to bar children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S. from citizenship, would overturn a right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment and upheld by the court for more than a century. Trump's order was quickly met with legal challenges, and several courts temporarily halted its implementation. Flashback: The administration argues birthright citizenship applies only to formerly enslaved people who were granted citizenship under the 14th Amendment after the Civil War."
"Trump has repeatedly claimedtariff revenue will help pay down the national debt, bankroll aid to farmers and cover the cost of his new "warrior dividend" - a one-time $1,776 bonus for roughly 1.45 million service members - even though the bonus is actually being paid out of previously approved Pentagon housing funds, not tariffs. Yes, but: The president has argued his far-reaching tariffs create jobs and boost U.S. manufacturing, claims many economists dispute."
The Supreme Court is scheduled to rule in early 2026 on Trump v. Barbara, challenging an executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants. Upholding the order would reverse a right rooted in the 14th Amendment and long upheld by the court. Several lower courts temporarily blocked the order and legal challenges remain active. The administration contends the 14th Amendment applied only to formerly enslaved people. Separately, the court will hear Learning Resources v. Trump on whether a presidentially declared national emergency can justify sweeping tariffs without congressional approval, possibly requiring more than $100 billion in refunds and limiting emergency powers. Trump has claimed tariff revenue would fund debt reduction, farm aid and a "warrior dividend", though economists dispute the jobs and manufacturing benefits.
