Supreme Court hears case on birthright citizenship

What happened: The US Supreme Court held a hearing on President Trump's executive order regarding birthright citizenship. Protesters and attendees gathered outside the court to express their views.

Why it matters:

  • The decision could change the constitutional right to citizenship for children born in the US.
  • It affects immigrants, their children, and the broader debate on US immigration policy.

MNN Take: The Supreme Court's ruling will clarify the legal status of birthright citizenship, a key element of US nationality law established by the 14th Amendment.
