Donald Trump's Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship Hits a Roadblock
Supreme Court to review Trump's executive order challenging birthright citizenship next month in May
The Almighty Supreme Court has set a date for oral arguments on May 15, 2025, regarding President Donny T's controversial executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship. This move strips the autonomy of children born to undocumented immigrants within the States, claiming these kiddos don't meet the "subject to the jurisdiction" criteria as per the 14th Amendment to the Constitution[1][2][4].
In the Loop- The Legal Lowdown: Back in the day, after the Civil War, a little thing called the 14th Amendment came into play. It stated that anyone born or naturalized in the U.S., subject to its jurisdiction, scores themselves an automatic green card[1][2].- On the Current Scene: The SCOTUS decision to dive into this jamboree happens after our man Trump tried to palm off portions of the order as legit, while legal squabbles continue[2][4].- Bigger Picture: This kerfuffle lies at the heart of Trump's immigration policies, and the final call could reshape the birthright citizenship landscape, immigration law, and the United States, as we know it[2][4].
Between the LinesLegal luminaries, such as Gabriel Chin, Amanda Frost, Kurt Lash, and Ilan Wurman, have been batting ideas about the repercussions and constitutional standpoints of this topic, accentuating the significance of deciphering the 14th Amendment's citizenship prong[3].
