The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution is holding a hearing on ending automatic birthright citizenship ahead of a Supreme Court ruling that could redefine who is considered an American at birth. The case centers on President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order, which would deny citizenship to U.S.-born children whose parents are in the country unlawfully or on temporary visas. The administration maintains that the 14th Amendment's citizenship guarantee was never meant to extend beyond the formerly enslaved. The hearing precedes the Supreme Court's April 1 oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, with a decision expected by late June or early July. Critics argue that the policy would produce "generations of stateless individuals" and create chaos, deny children equal protection under the law and harm immigrant families and communities nationwide.
