"The majority of the court has expressed skepticism about the legality of the presidential order, even though Trump attended the hearing, an unprecedented event for a sitting president."
"The judges are debating between a brief ruling, based solely on the Immigration Act of 1952, or a revision of the constitutional text to safeguard the interpretation of the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment."
"Much of the case presented by Solicitor General John Sauer and by the plaintiffs' representative, Cecilia Wang, revolved around United States v. Wong Kim Ark, a late 19th-century case involving a cook of Chinese descent."
The U.S. Supreme Court is examining the legality of an executive order by Donald Trump that denies citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants. The justices are considering whether to base their decision on the Immigration Act or the 14th Amendment's nationality clause. A conservative majority appears skeptical of the executive order. The case references United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which established citizenship rights for those born in the U.S. The final ruling is anticipated in late June or early July.
