U.S. Supreme Court Tosses Ruling on Arbitration of Job Disputes

The case centers on a statutory and constitutional question over whether the amendment’s Citizenship Clause applies to children born in the United States to parents who are not legal permanent residents

The plaintiffs argue that the original meaning of the clause does not extend automatic citizenship to children of parents in the country illegally.

The justices agreed to take up the appeal after lower courts rejected constitutional challenges brought by a group of petitioners who had sought to limit birthright citizenship.

Oral arguments are expected to focus on historical evidence and interpretations of the 14th Amendment’s text and intent of Congress at the time the post-Civil War measure was ratified.

The case, Trump v

Barbara, challenges the legality of an executive order issued by Trump his first day back in office, January 20, 2025.

The order terminates automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who are in the country without lawful status or who are only temporarily present.
