US EditionAmericans React to Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Case
Justices weighed whether the Constitution guarantees citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants and temporary visitors, a ruling that could affect 1.2 million children.
- On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding President Donald Trump's executive order to limit birthright citizenship, with Trump making an unprecedented appearance as the first sitting president to attend such proceedings.

- Legal debate centers on the 14th Amendment phrase "subject to the jurisdiction," with the administration arguing it requires allegiance; a ruling against Trump could prevent policy changes without a constitutional amendment.
