The Supreme Court has decided to hear arguments regarding President Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship, keeping an existing hold on the executive order. Trump's directive aimed to end birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants, but has faced significant legal challenges, resulting in nationwide injunctions from several district courts. The administration argues that such children are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction under the 14th Amendment. The case's outcome could reshape longstanding interpretations of citizenship rights established after the Civil War.
The Supreme Court's decision to hear arguments on Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship reflects ongoing legal battles over immigration and citizenship rights.
Trump's assertion that children of noncitizens aren't subject to U.S. jurisdiction challenges a long-accepted interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
