Supreme Court Weighs Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order: A Constitutional Crossroads
On May 15, 2025, the United States Supreme Court convened to hear arguments in a case that could redefine the nation's understanding of citizenship. At the heart of the debate is Executive Order 14160, signed by President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, which seeks to deny U.S. citizenship to children born on American soil unless at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident . This executive action challenges the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause, which has historically granted citizenship to nearly all individuals born in the United States.
US Supreme Court Considers Trump Administration’s Bid to Restrict Birthright Citizenship: Legal and Societal Tensions Unveiled
The United States Supreme Court is once again poised to weigh in on a high-stakes constitutional battle, this time over the issue of birthright citizenship. This issue, raised by the Trump administration's attempt to restrict birthright citizenship, has sparked renewed debate over the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, federal authority, and the balance between national security and individual rights. The Court’s decision on whether to uphold or block this proposal has the potential to reshape the legal landscape for millions of children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents.
Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Trump’s Effort to End Birthright Citizenship
On May 15, 2025, the United States Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in a case that challenges the scope of nationwide injunctions and the Trump administration's attempt to end birthright citizenship through Executive Order 14160. This executive order seeks to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to children born on American soil to non-citizen parents, a move that has sparked significant legal and societal debates.
Trump Kills ‘Disparate Impact’ in Biggest Civil Rights Enforcement Rollback Ever
On April 23, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled "Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy," effectively eliminating the federal government's use of disparate-impact liability in enforcing civil rights laws. This legal doctrine, established by the Supreme Court in Griggs v. Duke Power Co. (1971), allows courts to challenge policies that disproportionately harm protected groups, such as racial minorities, women, and the disabled, even without evidence of intentional discrimination. The executive order directs federal agencies to deprioritize enforcement of such regulations and calls for repealing parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, citing alleged conflicts with merit-based practices and constitutional protections.
