Supreme Court Expresses Concern Over Trump’s Attempt to Limit Birthright Citizenship
(MENAFN) US Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism on Wednesday regarding President Donald Trump’s effort to restrict automatic birthright citizenship, casting doubt on the administration’s legal position.
Trump made history by attending the session, becoming the first sitting US president to observe Supreme Court oral arguments in person, leaving after his legal team concluded its presentation.
“We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow 'Birthright' Citizenship!” Trump wrote on Truth Social following the hearing. His claim, however, is inaccurate, as several countries, including Canada, also grant citizenship by birth.
Trump’s top courtroom lawyer, Solicitor General John Sauer, faced intense questioning. Chief Justice John Roberts called some of the administration’s historical arguments “very quirky,” while Justice Amy Coney Barrett dismissed one interpretation outright, stating, “That's not textual.” Justice Neil Gorsuch also questioned a key argument regarding parental legal status, observing, “You don't see domicile mentioned in the debates. The absence is striking.”
The executive order in question, signed on Trump’s first day back in office, would deny automatic citizenship to US-born children of undocumented immigrants or individuals on temporary visas. A ruling from the Supreme Court is expected by the end of June, following nearly two hours of oral arguments.
