Supreme Court to hear Trump’s birthright citizenship case

The Supreme Court has agreed to take up the constitutionality of President Trump’s order on birthright citizenship. On the first day of his second term in office, President Trump signed an executive order declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens. That order would upend more than 125 years of understanding of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. This coming spring, justices will hear the Trump administration’s appeal of a lower-court ruling that struck down the citizenship restrictions.
