Trump Battles Birthright Citizenship at Supreme Court

Former President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at the Supreme Court this week, as the nation's highest court debated the future of birthright citizenship in the United States. Trump, who has long pushed to end the automatic granting of citizenship to children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents, watched intently as the justices heard oral arguments on the issue.

The case centers around a provision in the 14th Amendment that grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." Supporters of birthright citizenship argue this guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. However, critics contend the amendment was not intended to cover children of undocumented immigrants.
