Supreme Court hears oral arguments on Trump birthright citizenship order

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on April 1, 2026, in a challenge to Trump's January 2025 executive order that sought to end birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants or temporary visa holders. Trump became the first sitting president to attend Supreme Court oral arguments. Both liberal and conservative justices expressed deep skepticism of the administration's position; every lower court that had considered the challenge had already struck down the order.
