Summary
Donald Trump’s initiative to end birthright citizenship is set to be heard by the US Supreme Court, which will evaluate whether lower courts can block presidential orders nationwide. Following Trump’s executive order stating that children born in the US to undocumented immigrants are not citizens, three federal judges issued nationwide injunctions against it, prompting the administration to argue that such injunctions exceed judicial authority. Legal experts contend the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship, and a ruling in favor of Trump could significantly impact immigration policy and the rights of children born to undocumented parents in the US.
