Birthright citizenship debate erupts as Supreme Court arguments near
- The Supreme Court heard arguments on May 15, 2025, addressing the Trump administration's request related to birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions.
- The case arises after Trump issued an executive order denying citizenship to children born in the U.S. If their parents are not citizens or lawful residents, which federal judges blocked nationwide.
- The Court will consider if federal judges can issue nationwide injunctions, a procedural issue impacting the order's enforcement and potentially affecting children born to immigrant mothers differently within the same hospital.
- The Justice Department reported judges have issued 39 nationwide injunctions, calling the situation "an epidemic," while legal experts say Trump's plan conflicts with the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship at birth.
- If the court sides with the administration, children born in states like Kentucky to parents in the country illegally could lose citizenship, creating uncertainty for immigrants such as Barbara, a Cuban refugee expecting a child.
