Supreme Court to Rule on Controversial Birthright Citizenship Policy

The Supreme Court has agreed to review the legality of President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship, a move aimed at altering the established interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The order, blocked by lower courts, challenges the automatic citizenship of children born in the U.S., sparking legal debate.

The Supreme Court is set to determine the legality of President Donald Trump's directive to limit birthright citizenship, a contentious policy aimed at altering the traditional understanding of the 14th Amendment. Trump's measure, currently stalled by lower court decisions, seeks to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to children born in the country if neither parent is an American citizen or a legal permanent resident.

The administration argues that the constitutional provision only extends citizenship to those with 'primary allegiance' to the United States, specifically targeting children of immigrants here illegally or temporarily. This position has been met with legal challenges, claiming the order violates established law, including the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.

With the Supreme Court's recent decision to hear the case, the legality of Trump's immigration policy remains in flux as the nation awaits a ruling that could redefine birthright citizenship and its implications on immigration law.
