5 min readThe Supreme Court is expected to rule today on President Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship, a case that challenges a constitutional interpretation that has stood since the 1890s. Meanwhile, Colorado holds primary elections for governor, Kentucky faces a dangerous heat wave on top of recent deadly flooding, and Paraguay celebrates a historic World Cup upset over Germany.
Supreme Court to Decide on Birthright Citizenship
The U.S. Supreme Court is handing down its final decisions of the term this morning, and the most anticipated ruling involves President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment has been interpreted since the 1890s to guarantee American citizenship for any child born on U.S. soil. President Trump has long argued this interpretation is wrong, and on the first day of his second term, he issued an order barring automatic citizenship for babies whose parents either entered the country illegally or are living and working in the U.S. legally on temporary visas.
According to NPR’s Nina Totenberg, every federal judge who has ruled on the claim has ruled against the president. The Supreme Court will now deliver its verdict, settling a legal battle that has been building since the executive order was first challenged.
