SCOTUS Set to to Tackle Birthright Citizenship Wednesday; Idaho AG Backs Trump's Executive Order

The case could affect millions of children born in the United States to noncitizen parents, according to Pew Research Center data.

  • On Wednesday, the United States Supreme Court began oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, a case challenging President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to limit birthright citizenship for children born to noncitizen parents.
  • Trump signed the executive order January 20, 2025, on his inauguration day, arguing the 14th Amendment clause 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' permits restricting citizenship to children of legal residents only.
  • Challengers cite the 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which held that children born on U.S. soil are citizens regardless of parental status; the administration counters citizenship requires 'direct and immediate allegiance.'
  • Officials estimate 255,000 babies annually could lose citizenship if the order takes effect, with local officials warning children would become 'legal outcasts' barred from voting and federal jury service.
  • The Supreme Court expects to rule by late June or early July, as civil rights groups warn the decision could reshape how all constitutional protections are interpreted and enforced.
