Birthright Citizenship Legal Challenge
Where Things Stand
The Supreme Court is hearing a case called Trump v. Barbara to decide if children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents should still get automatic citizenship. This case could end a 160 year old legal rule and change how the government applies the 14th Amendment. The justices are currently holding oral arguments to see if this part of the Constitution also limits rights like gun ownership for non-citizens.
