Trump’s Push To End Birthright Citizenship Hits Supreme Court In EXPLOSIVE Constitutional Showdown

Donald Trump's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship has reached the US Supreme Court, marking the first major legal test of his second presidency. The court heard arguments over whether the president can deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented or temporary immigrant parents. Justices appeared skeptical of Trump's order but questioned the use of nationwide injunctions. The ruling, expected by June’s end, could redefine immigration policy and judicial limits. Trump's move has triggered a fierce legal battle with states and rights groups calling it unconstitutional and chaotic. #Trump #BirthrightCitizenship #SupremeCourt #14thAmendment #ImmigrationPolicy #TrumpExecutiveOrder #Constitution #USPolitics #DonaldTrump #USLaw #CitizenshipDebate #NationwideInjunctions #SCOTUS #AmyConeyBarrett #JusticeKagan #JusticeSotomayor #TrumpImmigration #USConstitution #KetanjiBrownJackson #TrumpSecondTerm ~ED.102~HT.336~
