In a landmark case that could redefine American identity, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed this week to review former President Donald Trump's controversial bid to restrict birthright citizenship – setting up a 2025 showdown over the 14th Amendment's "all persons born" clause. 🔥
The legal battle centers on Trump's 2025 executive order denying citizenship to children born in the U.S. if neither parent is a citizen or green card holder. Lower courts previously blocked the policy, calling it unconstitutional. Now, nine justices will decide whether to upend 150+ years of legal precedent. ⚖️
"This isn't just about immigration – it's about who gets to call themselves American," said civil rights attorney Maria Chen, 28, while protesting outside the court. The ACLU argues the 14th Amendment's language is clear: citizenship applies to all babies born on U.S. soil, period. 🌎
But Trump administration officials claim the policy prevents "birth tourism" and protects national security. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told reporters: "We're fighting to preserve the value of American citizenship for future generations." 🇺🇸
With oral arguments expected by spring 2026 and a ruling by June, this case could impact thousands of families nationwide. Stay tuned as NewspaperAmigo tracks this historic constitutional clash! 📰✨
