SCOTUS Hears Arguments on Birthright Citizenship
The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard arguments on April 1, 2026, in Trump v. Barbara, on the Administration’s bid to eliminate birthright citizenship for children of undocumented and temporary foreign nationals in the U.S. Under the Executive Order being challenged, the U.S. government would no longer recognize the U.S. citizenship of children born in the United States to temporary visa holders, including F-1 students, J-1 exchange visitors, as well as H-1 and L-1 nonimmigrant workers.
While the outcome is still uncertain, the government attorneys faced tough questions from the justices, particularly from Justices Sotomayor, Jackson, Kagan, and Gorsuch.
