Ketanji Brown Jackson Raises Hypothetical Scenario Involving Japan and Wallet Theft During Citizenship Hearing

  • Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson used a hypothetical about stealing a wallet in Japan to question whether temporary visitors owe local allegiance to the laws of the country they visit during Supreme Court oral arguments on birthright citizenship in Trump v. Barbara.
  • The Supreme Court is hearing Trump v. Barbara to decide the constitutionality of President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born to illegal aliens and foreign tourists, with justices expressing skepticism about the administration's arguments.
  • Solicitor General John Sauer argued that birthright citizenship was meant for freed slaves and their children with permanent allegiance, excluding children of temporary visitors and illegal immigrants lacking legal domicile, referencing the 14th Amendment's original intent.
  • ACLU attorney Cecilia Wang argued that birthright citizenship is protected by the 14th Amendment for all born in the U.S., warning that millions could lose citizenship if the executive order is upheld.
