#SCOTUS is taking up one of the term’s most consequential cases∶ Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder on #BirthrightCitizenship, declaring that #children born to parents who are in the #US illegally or temporarily are not US citizens.
#Trump is in attendance. He’s the first
sitting president to attend oral arguments at the nation’s highest court.

The #BirthrightCitizenship order, which #Trump signed on Jan 20, 2025, the first day of his second term, is part of his #Republican admin’s broad #immigration crackdown.
EVERY lower court that has considered the issue has found the order #illegal & prevented it from taking effect. A definitive ruling by #SCOTUS is expected by early summer.

Predictably, #ClarenceThomas sounds most open to the #Trump admin’s position.
Thomas recounts that the aim of the 14th amendment was to make citizens of the freed slaves. “How much of the debates around the 14 Amendment had anything to do with immigration?”

Many of the arguments in today’s case go back to the Supreme Court’s 1898 ruling in the case of Wong Kim Ark, which said a US born child of Chinese nationals was a citizen.
In that ruling, Justice Horace Gray wrote that #14thAmendment “affirms the ancient & fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the territory. That, he wrote, is “including all children here born of resident aliens.”
