On April 1, 2026, the Supreme Court commenced hearings on a significant case concerning birthright citizenship in the United States.
The case is largely shaped by an executive order from former President Trump, which asserts that children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants do not automatically receive citizenship.
This legal challenge could have profound implications for the interpretation of citizenship laws and the operational frameworks surrounding immigration policy.
