This order interprets the 14th Amendment as restricting citizenship to those born to parents &#8220;subject to the jurisdiction&#8221; of the United States, thereby suggesting that children of undocumented immigrants would not be citizens. The 14th Amendment,adopted after the Civil War,was originally intended to affirm citizenship for former slaves,but has since been interpreted to grant citizenship to anyone born in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Since Trump&#8217;s executive order, numerous lawsuits have arisen, resulting in lower courts blocking its implementation. The justice Department appealed thes decisions to the Supreme court, which set the oral arguments for May 15. This timing is unusual as it is late in the court&#8217;s term. Trump expressed satisfaction with the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision to take up the case, arguing that the 14th Amendment was misinterpreted regarding the citizenship of children born to illegal immigrants, emphasizing its past context related to slavery.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court announced Thursday that, in a rare move, it will hear oral arguments in May regarding President Donald Trump&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/immigrant-group-suing-trump-receives-federal-funds\/\" title=\"Immigrant group suing Trump receives federal funds\">birthright citizenship executive order<\/a>, following an emergency request from the administration.<\/p>\n<p>On his first day in office in January, Trump issued an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/01\/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive order<\/a> interpreting the language of the 14th Amendment, which states only those born to parents &ldquo;subject to the jurisdiction&rdquo;
