The US Supreme Court is set to hear a landmark case that could impact birthright citizenship in the country, with the court's decision potentially affecting millions of Americans born abroad to undocumented parents. The case centers on President Trump's 2019 executive order aimed at ending the policy, which grants automatic US citizenship to children born on US soil. If the court rules in favor of the president, it would likely be a major blow to advocates for birthright citizenship and immigrant rights groups. The case has significant implications for the lives of millions of Americans with uncertain or incomplete immigration status.
