TL;DR Summary

The Supreme Court will hear Trump v. Barbara to decide whether President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship for children born to parents in the U.S. temporarily or unlawfully present violates the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment and related immigration law; lower courts have blocked the order, and a decision expected by late June or early July could uphold, strike down, or narrow the policy, with roots in Wong Kim Ark and a broader debate over who is 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States.
