Birthright Citizenship Protest Erupts Outside Supreme Court During Key Hearing

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Thursday on whether the Trump administration can end birthright citizenship. Outside, a large protest unfolded. Demonstrators from various organizations rallied, chanting slogans in defense of the Constitution. "They are chanting and rallying in support of birthright citizenship for the law to remain," reported a journalist present at the scene. The demonstration underscored the high stakes of the legal challenge. An attorney representing a bipartisan group for immigration reform shared insights into the potential consequences of overturning the birthright citizenship law, emphasizing the plight of stateless children born to non-citizen parents. The Trump administration argues that the nationwide injunctions issued by lower courts overstep judicial authority. The Supreme Court's decision will have broad implications, not only for birthright citizenship but also for the scope of judicial and presidential power. A ruling in favor of the administration could set a precedent affecting how future policies are enforced. The video concludes by stating that a decision from the Supreme Court is expected in a few weeks or months.
