Supreme Court Reviews Trump Plan to End Automatic Citizenship for Some Newborns

The Supreme Court has agreed to review President Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship. The order, signed on January 20 during his return to the White House, states that babies born in the United States more than 30 days after the order will no longer automatically receive citizenship if their parents are undocumented immigrants or temporary visitors. Supporters argue that blocking automatic citizenship for these cases would remove a major incentive driving illegal immigration. The Court’s decision will determine whether the order can take effect or must be struck down as unconstitutional.
