Trump escalates battle over immigration rules in bid to bolster GOP before midterms
President Donald Trump's Supreme Court visit escalates his immigration fight ahead of the midterms, but justices appeared skeptical of his push to curb birthright citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
President Donald Trump is elevating his immigration fight at the Supreme Court, intensifying pressure on Democrats ahead of the midterms as justices appeared skeptical of the president's push to curb birthright citizenship for undocumented immigrants. The court heard arguments in a challenge to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which grants temporary protection from deportation to young undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children. Trump's actions come amid growing concerns over his administration's handling of immigration policy and its impact on vulnerable populations. The outcome of the case is uncertain, but it could have significant implications for Democratic prospects in the upcoming elections.
