Now at the Supreme Court, birthright citizenship is the norm across the Americas
- The Supreme Court is expected to rule by early July on President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, potentially overturning over a century of legal precedent granting automatic citizenship to children born on United States soil.
- Trump casts birthright citizenship as a "magnet for illegal immigration," prompting his directive to halt recognition for children of undocumented or temporary residents, which challenges the 14th Amendment ratified in 1868 to ensure citizenship for former slaves.
- Law professor David Lopez warned that striking down birthright citizenship would leave many children stateless, "not protected in the immigration system," reversing established jurisprudence from the 1898 Wong Kim Ark case.
- Last week, the court sided with the Trump administration by ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants, signaling willingness to adopt broad immigration rulings.
- If the court upholds the order, it could invite future challenges and establish a new litmus test for Republican judicial appointees, significantly altering America's constitutional multiracial democracy.
