US EditionU.S. Supreme Court to examine birthright citizenship Wednesday
The Supreme Court reviews the constitutional limits of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment amid challenges to President Trump's 2025 order excluding some children born in the U.S.
- The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in Trump versus Barbara, a case challenging President Donald Trump's executive order denying birthright citizenship to children born in the United States to parents lacking permission to be present.
- At issue is the Amendment, which conferred citizenship to freed African Americans after the Civil War; justices must reconcile this with precedent in Wong Kim Ark, where the court affirmed citizenship for children of Chinese parents.
- Iowa Attorney General representative Eric Wessan argued the Amendment was not intended to reward illegal re-entry, noting English common law granted protections only to those with permission to be present in the United States.
- Lawyers opposing the order warned of chaos if individual states adopt varying citizenship policies, questioning whether the three categories of exclusion from birthright citizenship are exhaustive or if other groups might also be excluded.
- A decision is expected by late June or early July; the Amendment remains the bedrock for immigration law, and this ruling will determine who the United States can extend birthright citizenship to.
