The Supreme Court is poised to review President Donald Trump's Executive Order 14160, which aims to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. after February 19, 2025, to undocumented parents or those on temporary visas. The administration argues that the 14th Amendment's 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' clause has been misinterpreted and should exclude those without permanent legal status. Opponents, including the ACLU and a coalition of states, argue the move is unconstitutional and contradicts the 1898 Wong Kim Ark precedent. A ruling is expected within three months, with significant implications for millions of residents and the legal definition of American citizenship.
