Adam Zyglis: Birthright Citizenship
- On June 27, the Supreme Court limited nationwide injunctions against Trump’s birthright citizenship order, leaving its constitutionality unresolved.
- In January, EO 14160 aimed to restrict birthright citizenship, reinterpreting the 14th Amendment to require at least one parent to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident for automatic citizenship.

- The Supreme Court will revisit the case next term, with experts projecting enforcement and legal interpretations may differ across states.
