++EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT MAY INCLUDE PROFANE SPEECH AND GRAPHIC IMAGES
Live oral arguments from the Supreme Court of the United States as justices hear arguments over President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to limit birthright citizenship and its compatibility with Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
Trump plans to sit in on the hearing, making him the first sitting president to attend oral arguments at the nation’s highest court. The U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments over whether U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order to control birthright citizenship — signed on his first day back in office — comports with the post-Civil War 14th Amendment and an 86-year-old federal law widely understood to make citizens of everyone born in the country, with narrow exceptions. Every court to have considered the issue has found the order illegal and prevented it from taking effect. // Please note this event is audio-only with a static slate from source.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set on Wednesday to consider the legality of President Donald Trump’s directive to restrict birthright citizenship in the United States, a contentious plan tied to his efforts to curb immigration that would upend the long-held understanding of a key constitutional provision. The justices will hear arguments in his administration’s appeal of a lower court’s decision that blocked his executive order directing U.S. agencies not to recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States if neither parent is an American citizen or legal permanent resident, also called a “green card” holder.
Trump plans to attend the arguments, according to his official schedule. His policy violated citizenship language in the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment as well as a federal law codifying birthright citizenship rights, the lower court found, acting in a class-action lawsuit by parents and children whose citizenship is threatened by the directive.
