Donald Trump Unleashes on Supreme Court Ahead of Key Vote: "Disgrace"
The justices will decide whether to preserve a 150-year-old constitutional right that could affect about 255,000 U.S.-born children each year.
- President Donald Trump pressured the Supreme Court on Thursday to overturn birthright citizenship, calling it a "disgrace" and claiming it encourages immigration. "It's all up to a couple of people," Trump said, referring to potential swing votes.
- Trump signed an executive order on January 20, 2025, to withhold citizenship from children born to undocumented parents, challenging the Citizenship Clause protections upheld for over 150 years. Lower courts blocked the move as unconstitutional.
- Polling data shows 75 percent of adults support citizenship for children of visa holders. Researchers warn ending birthright citizenship creates "an underclass excluded from social membership for generations" with fewer opportunities for upward mobility.
- During oral arguments in April, even conservative justices seemed open to rejecting Trump's order, according to CBS News reports. The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling soon as the term nears its end.
- The Supreme Court's ruling will determine whether the administration can unilaterally alter citizenship rights guaranteed by the Constitution. This case remains central to the administration's broader immigration agenda aimed at tightening controls.
