US EditionTrump’s Eugenic Horror Is About to Get the Green Light — and that’s Just the Beginning
The Supreme Court will review the constitutionality of an order that could strip citizenship from hundreds of thousands of US-born children of undocumented immigrants.
- The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship, a move the president says is crucial given the large numbers affected.

- The president's past rhetoric includes demeaning migrants from South America, Africa and Asia, while his in vitro fertilization policy references promote 'the right kind' of births, critics and scholars assessing motive say.
- If the court rules for the administration, children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants or temporary visa holders could lose citizenship, and families and civil-rights groups warn this would tear families apart and create a second-class status.
- Scholars warn the effort could redefine broader citizenship definition and national belonging, with birthright citizenship as a legal safeguard, while critics describe its basis as pseudoscientific and exclusionary.
