Supreme Court to hear birthright citizenship arguments

() The Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday surrounding President Donald Trump’s push to end birthright citizenship.

Oral arguments will be streamed from this story when they begin at 10 a.m. EDT.

The hearing follows Trump’s Day 1 executive order to end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who aren’t permanent legal residents.

In the order, Trump wrote that the 14th Amendment, which affords U.S. citizenship to anyone born in the country, has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the nation’s borders.

The American Civil Liberties Union called the order “unconstitutional” and “reckless.”

The order has been challenged in 10 different lawsuits, several of which are now before the Supreme Court on its emergency docket. 

Thursday’s oral arguments aren’t expected to settle whether Trump’s order is constitutional. Instead, the court aims to debate whether some federal district judges overstepped by blocking the order nationwide.

Trump is likely to get some sympathy from the conservative-majority Supreme Court. Thursday’s arguments and decision would have ripple effects on other lawsuits involving nationwide injunctions on Trump’s executive orders.
