US Supreme Court sceptical of challenge to birthright citizenship

What happened: The US Supreme Court heard arguments on a case challenging birthright citizenship, with President Trump attending in person. The justices appeared doubtful about the challenge during the session.

Why it matters:

  • The ruling could affect the citizenship status of children born in the US to non-citizen parents.
  • It has significant implications for immigration policy and legal interpretations of the 14th Amendment.

MNN Take: The Supreme Court's scepticism suggests the challenge may face difficulties, but the final decision will clarify the legal standing of birthright citizenship in the US.
