US EditionBirthright citizenship debate erupts as Supreme Court arguments near
- The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Thursday regarding challenges to President Trump's January executive order restricting birthright citizenship.
- Following three district court rulings that blocked the order nationwide, the administration is now challenging the power of single judges to issue injunctions with nationwide effect.
- The executive order seeks to end the practice of granting citizenship at birth to children born in the United States whose parents are in the country illegally or temporarily, challenging a Supreme Court ruling from 1898 that affirmed the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship.
- Trump claimed that no other nation besides America grants birthright citizenship, a statement constitutional law expert Ilya Somin described as clearly inaccurate.
- The Court's ruling could reshape immigration laws and judicial authority over nationwide injunctions, while legal battles continue in states that opposed the order.
