President Donald Trump had issued an executive order that said children born to people in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed. In a momentous decision, the justices relied on a long-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War in 1868.In other Tuesday rulings, the court upheld laws in roughly half the states that prohibit transgender girls and women from playing on their public school and college sport teams and struck down limits on party spending in federal elections.A panel of legal experts joins the show to help explain what the decisions mean for Florida.Also, more on the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling last week that allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for more than 250,000 Haitians and Syrians in the country.Plus, what did the Tampa Bay area gain or lose in Gov. DeSantis’ final budget — and line vetoes?Website: https://www.wusf.orgSign up for our daily newsletter: https://www.wusf.org/wakeupcall-newsletterFollow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WUSFInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wusfpublicmedia/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsN1ZItTKcJ4AGsBIni3
