Supreme Court Poised to Reject Trump’s Bid to End Birthright Citizenship in Historic Showdown

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants.

Trump made history by attending the hearing in person, but a clear majority of justices—both conservative and liberal—appeared skeptical of his arguments. The case centers on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which has guaranteed citizenship by birth for over a century. Justices raised concerns about the sweeping consequences of overturning this precedent, including the risk of creating millions of stateless individuals.

The outcome will have major implications for immigration policy and the definition of American citizenship.
