Trump to Attend Supreme Court Hearing
Trump plans to attend Supreme Court arguments on Wednesday. The case is about birthright citizenship.
This means babies born in the United States become citizens. Trump signed an order to end this for some babies.
His order targets children of undocumented immigrants. It also targets children of some temporary visitors.
The Court will look at what the Constitution says about this. A ruling is expected by the end of June. Last year, the Supreme Court ruled in Trump's favor in a related case.
Klear Note — Birthright citizenship means babies born in the US automatically become citizens. The Supreme Court decides if the Constitution allows this rule to change.
