US Supreme Court agrees to hear case challenging birthright citizenship
The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging birthright citizenship, with major implications for Trump's immigration policies and citizenship rights. Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship for children born to parents in the US illegally was blocked by lower courts. The case revolves around the 14th Amendment's principle of granting citizenship to anyone born in the country, with arguments on whether this applies to children of non-permanent residents. The Supreme Court's ruling, expected in the coming months, will settle the debate over the constitutional right to citizenship for children born in the US.
