The Trump administration has formally requested the Supreme Court to rule on its executive order effectively terminating birthright citizenship. This order, issued on Friday, removes the requirement for birthright citizenship – the principle that all individuals born under U.S. law have the same rights and protections – from the legal framework. The administration argues the order is a necessary step to address concerns regarding immigration policy and its impact on the legal system. The Supreme Court is expected to consider this request within the upcoming term.
