US EditionTrump Criticizes Supreme Court Ahead of Birthright Citizenship Case
The Supreme Court will decide if President Trump can overturn the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship guarantee amid disputes over constitutional authority.
- The Supreme Court will hear arguments challenging President Donald Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship, deciding whether the executive branch can alter the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause.
- Trump issued the executive order on his first day in office, arguing the Fourteenth Amendment is outdated and abused by illegal immigrants. The policy challenges citizenship rights established in 1868 to protect freed slaves.
- On Monday, Trump claimed the United States is the "only country" to offer universal birthright citizenship, a statement Newsweek fact-checked as false. Canada, Mexico, and Argentina recognize birthright citizenship, while Germany, Japan, and China do not.
- White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the Supreme Court has "the opportunity to review the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause and restore the meaning of citizenship in the United States to its original public meaning."
- Tracking birthright citizenship remains difficult because hospitals do not record parental immigration status. This data gap complicates the Supreme Court's assessment of the executive order, which the administration argues is essential for American security.
