Birthright citizenship on trial: How the Supreme Court may reshape the 14th Amendment

On May 15, 2025, the US Supreme Court began hearing a case challenging President Trump’s executive order to restrict birthright citizenship. The order denies citizenship to children born on US soil unless one parent is a citizen or legal resident, sparking constitutional debates around the 14th Amendment. While the Court is currently reviewing the legality of nationwide injunctions, the case could reshape how federal courts respond to executive orders on immigration and citizenship rights.
