‘Hits close to home’: US Supreme Court hears birthright citizenship case | Donald Trump News

The United States Supreme Court heard arguments in a case challenging President Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship. The Trump administration argued that the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to anyone born in the US, has been misinterpreted and should only apply to those with "allegiance" to the US by being domiciled within its borders. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) countered that the amendment is clear and should not be altered. The court's conservative majority, including three justices appointed by Trump, will decide on a ruling later this year.
