"Executive Order 14160 aims to eliminate the guarantee of birthright citizenship for children born on U.S. soil to parents without legal authorization, a position previously considered fringe."
"The order contravenes the Constitution, high court rulings, and legislation passed by Congress, raising questions about its legality even among the conservative Justices."
"The tenor of the two-hour-plus oral argument indicated that the Supreme Court may not support Trump's order, with speculation on how resoundingly he will lose."
"Trump's attendance at the birthright-citizenship arguments is historic, marking the first time a sitting President has participated in such a Supreme Court case."
The Supreme Court is reviewing Executive Order 14160, which seeks to abolish birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to unauthorized immigrants. This order contradicts the Constitution, previous court rulings, and established practices. Despite Trump's efforts, the conservative Justices' questions during oral arguments suggest skepticism about the order's legality. Trump's attendance at the arguments marks a historic moment, as he is the first sitting President to do so. The outcome seems likely to favor the preservation of birthright citizenship.
