After nearly two hours of oral arguments, the Supreme Court appeared poised to reject President Donald Trump\u2019s effort to end birthright citizenship through an executive order. The case centers on whether the 14th Amendment\u2019s citizenship clause guarantees citizenship to almost everyone born in the United States, as it has long been understood, or whether Trump\u2019s administration can carve out exceptions for children of undocumented immigrants and some temporary visa holders.\n\nJustices across the ideological spectrum pressed the administration hard on its reading of history and precedent, especially the 1898 Wong Kim Ark decision, which has long been seen as confirming birthright citizenship. Several justices suggested the government\u2019s arguments were too strained and that the Constitution\u2019s text and American precedent still point toward automatic citizenship for those born on U.S. soil. A decision is expected by late June or early July.
