Trump planning to attend Supreme Court arguments in high-stakes birthright citizenship case, White House says

Key Points:

• President Trump plans to attend Supreme Court oral arguments on Wednesday regarding his executive order aiming to end birthright citizenship, potentially becoming the first sitting president to personally view arguments at the high court.
• The executive order, signed shortly after Trump returned to office, seeks to stop automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented or temporary immigrants, a move challenged as violating the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause.
• Opponents argue the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to nearly all born in the U.S., while the Trump administration contends it was intended only for former slaves and their descendants, not children of undocumented immigrants.
• The Supreme Court previously addressed procedural issues related to the order but will now consider its constitutionality directly, with a ruling expected by July; the court has a conservative 6-3 majority, including three Trump appointees.
• Despite the conservative majority, the court has ruled against Trump administration policies in recent months, including striking down many of his tariffs, prompting criticism from the president.
