Trump’s Order Challenges US Citizenship Law

President Trump’s order focuses on restricting citizenship for children born to non-resident immigrants. This is part of a broader effort to tighten immigration policies. The court has questioned the legality of the order and its impact on the US Constitution. Donald Trump attended the Supreme Court session to observe the arguments. The order challenges a long-standing principle of American citizenship established in 1868. All courts have previously declared the measure unconstitutional.
