Supreme Court Hears Challenge to Trump's Efforts to Restrict Birthright Citizenship
A Supreme Court hearing is set to address a contentious issue surrounding birthright citizenship, with some arguing it's about restricting automatic US citizenship to certain groups; others say it's unconstitutional and an attempt by President Trump to restrict birthright citizenship.
A US Supreme Court hearing is set to consider a challenge to President Donald Trump's attempt to restrict birthright citizenship, but the issue itself is 'blatantly unconstitutional', according to U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, who previously ruled on the matter earlier this year. The court will be determining whether the restriction is enforceable, despite concerns over its constitutionality. If upheld, the ruling could have significant implications for citizenship laws in the US.
