Donald Trump participated in the Supreme Court case on birthright citizenship
The current US President Donald Trump participated in the Supreme Court hearings, spending less than two hours in the courtroom. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He took part in the discussion regarding citizenship based on birthright. The President's participation in the court process is not prohibited by law.
However, critics may view this action as an attempt to distract attention and influence court decisions. According to the BBC, after returning to power, Trump signed an order to stop automatically granting citizenship to children born to illegal or temporary parents in the country.
His unusual visit to the court shows how important and dangerous decisions can be made on this issue. This case is the first immigration-related matter reviewed by the Supreme Court during Trump's second term.
The court has previously considered other cases related to Trump's immigration policy but has not yet made a final decision. The order to revoke citizenship based on birthright is not a key part of Trump's comprehensive strategy to deport millions of illegal migrants.
However, this idea is popular among his supporters and has long been part of the immigration agenda. If the court finds the order legal, Trump may announce this victory and use it to mobilize MAGA supporters ahead of the November midterm elections.
After the hearing, Trump described the US on the Truth Social site as the only country in the world granting citizenship based on birthright. The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The courts have broadly interpreted this definition, ruling in 1898 that it also applies to children of migrants. Experts believe that if the Supreme Court supports Trump's position, the legal status of approximately 250,000 children born annually in the US could be called into question.
Additionally, millions of families will face difficulties in formalizing their children's citizenship. The final decision is expected during the Supreme Court's session in June or early July.
