An overview of the arguments of the Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship

Today the U.S. Supreme Court discussed the constitutionality of President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship in the United States. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil -- something the Supreme Court upheld way back in 1898. That year, the landmark case US v. Wong Kim Ark established a precedent which granted any individual born in the United States citizenship regardless of their parents's immigration status, race or citizenship.The Trump administration wants to challenge this 128 year old precedent, saying the rules should not apply to the children of undocumented immigrants.President Trump attended the oral arguments today, a first for sitting president. The justices seemed poised to reject his petition -- but there likely won't be a decision until late June or early July.Producer Carl Massad spoke with Professor Niels Frenzen, director of the USC Gould School of Law immigration clinic, to get a sense of how this case could proceed.
