The Supreme Court stops Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship
Defending the executive order before the Supreme Court, Solicitor General D. Sauer argued that noncitizens and their children aren’t “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States, since their loyalty lies with a foreign power.An estimated 250,000 children are born on US soil to noncitizen parents each year. The birthright citizenship ban would not have gone into effect retroactively, but would have applied to anyone born 30 days after Trump’s executive order was issued.Even conservative justices were skeptical of the administration’s argument.
