U.S. Supreme Court to examine birthright citizenship Wednesday
- On Wednesday, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, challenging President Donald Trump's January 20, 2025 executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship for children born to parents present illegally or temporarily.
- President Trump signed Executive Order 14160 on his first day back in office, asserting the 14th Amendment's 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' clause does not automatically grant citizenship to children of parents without legal status.
- Citing the 1898 Supreme Court precedent in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, lower courts have uniformly blocked the policy, ruling birthright citizenship applies to children of non-citizens domiciled in the United States.
- Implementation could create a 'tidal wave of legal confusion and chaos,' according to Jill Habig, CEO of Public Rights Project, potentially affecting more than one-quarter of a million babies born annually.
- A final decision from the Supreme Court is expected by late June or early July, determining whether birthright citizenship will be upheld or restricted under the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause.
