flag Trump’s first-day executive order to end birthright citizenship faces Supreme Court review, despite lower courts ruling it unconstitutional.

flag On his first day in office, Donald Trump signed an executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, arguing the 14th Amendment was meant only for children of formerly enslaved people, not for children of undocumented immigrants or wealthy foreign nationals. flag He claims the policy is being exploited for "birth tourism," particularly through the Northern Mariana Islands, and has appealed a lower court ruling blocking the order. flag The Supreme Court has agreed to review the case, with oral arguments expected in spring and a decision likely by early summer. flag All lower courts have ruled the order unconstitutional, affirming that the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil, excluding only children of foreign diplomats.
