Supreme Court to consider sweeping move by President Trump to end birthright citizenship | 5 Dec 2025 | The US Supreme Court has agreed to weigh in on the constitutionality of Donald Trump’s efforts to end birthright citizenship. The conservative-dominated court made the decision on Friday. It has not set a date for oral arguments in the case, but it is likely to be early next year. On the president’s first day back in the White House for his second term, he signed an executive order called “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.” The order declared that children born on U.S. soil to illegal immigrants and those on temporary visas would not automatically become citizens… Trump’s executive order argues that anyone in the U.S. illegally or on a visa is not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the country, and therefore left out of this category. The Trump administration has also argued that the 14th Amendment, passed in the wake of the Civil War, addresses the rights of formerly enslaved people and not the children of undocumented migrants or temporary U.S. visitors.
