Supreme Court Takes Up High-Stakes Battle Over Birthright Citizenship for Children of Undocumented Immigrants

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on the Trump administration's controversial plan to end birthright citizenship for children born in the country to undocumented immigrants. This case centers on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, specifically whether children of noncitizens are 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States and thus entitled to citizenship. The outcome could have sweeping implications for immigration policy and the rights of millions of children. The Court will also address the broader issue of whether lower courts can issue nationwide injunctions against presidential policies. A decision is expected to set a major precedent for both immigration law and executive authority.
