US Supreme Court to review Trump's order to restrict birthright citizenship
  • The US Supreme Court has agreed to review President Donald Trump's executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship, a policy that has faced opposition from several lower courts which upheld the principle that anyone born on US soil is automatically granted citizenship.
  • This review is significant as it could potentially reshape the legal landscape surrounding citizenship rights in the US, impacting millions of individuals born in the country and setting a precedent for future immigration policies.
  • The case reflects ongoing tensions in US immigration policy, particularly as Trump has faced criticism for various measures perceived as discriminatory, including halting immigration from specific countries, which has sparked debates about national identity and human rights.
