The Supreme Court is preparing to hear Trump vs. Washington, a case that could redefine the constitutional meaning of birthright citizenship for the first time in more than a century.
At issue is President Donald Trump's January 2025 Executive Order 14160, "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," which instructs federal agencies not to recognize citizenship for children born in the United States to "temporary visitors and illegal aliens" if their birth occurs more than 30 days after the order takes effect.
The court's decision will determine not only the legal status of children born to undocumented or temporary status parents, but also the constitutional boundaries of who belongs in the American political community.
