The Supreme Court will hear arguments on a Trump-era executive order aiming to restrict birthright citizenship by limiting it to children born to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, challenging the traditional interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause. The administration argues that the clause’s phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” excludes children of temporary visitors or undocumented immigrants, citing historical cases, while opponents maintain that longstanding legal precedent and the amendment’s language guarantee citizenship to nearly all born on U.S. soil. The Court’s decision could have significant implications for constitutional law and immigration policy, with former President Trump expected to attend the proceedings.
President Donald Trump is set to attend Supreme Court oral arguments on his executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented or temporarily present immigrants, marking the first time a sitting president has personally attended such a session. The case challenges the longstanding interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which has historically granted citizenship to nearly all individuals born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' status. With a conservative majority on the Court, including three Trump appointees, a ruling expected by July could significantly impact immigration law and constitutional citizenship rights.
The conflict involving Iran has severely disrupted global oil supplies by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for about 20% of the world’s oil shipments, with vessel traffic dropping drastically and Iran imposing tolls on passage. The International Energy Agency recommends reducing oil demand through measures like remote work and increased public transit use, but experts note challenges in changing American driving habits due to limited transit options and the cost of electric vehicles. Meanwhile, ongoing tensions have led to attacks on shipping vessels, and Iran insists on sovereignty over the strait as a condition for ending the conflict, signaling a long-term assertion of control.
