US EditionTrump plans to attend oral arguments in Supreme Court birthright citizenship case
White House officials said Trump will attend the arguments as the court weighs whether his January 2025 order can limit birthright citizenship.
- President Donald Trump announced he will personally attend The Supreme Court on Wednesday to hear arguments regarding his directive to restrict birthright citizenship in The United States.
- The directive seeks to limit birthright citizenship to children of American citizens or legal permanent "green card" holders, which a lower court blocked for violating the 14th Amendment.
- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the attendance Wednesday morning, which would be historically unprecedented; the Supreme Court Historical Society found no official record of a sitting president attending oral arguments.
- "I'm going," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Tuesday. "Because I have listened to this argument for so long," he added, having previously called justices "disloyal to the Constitution."
- The case addresses the legality of restricting citizenship, a contentious effort to curb immigration that would alter how a 19th-century constitutional provision has long been understood in The United States.
