Supreme Court may soon decide fate of Trump’s immigration policies

The Supreme Court is poised to play a pivotal role in determining the future of President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration agenda. Central to the debate is the challenge to birthright citizenship, a principle once considered legally untouchable. President Donald Trump, along with a small number of his Latino supporters, is questioning the automatic citizenship granted to anyone born in the U.S.

“By that logic, then literally anyone right can become a citizen. You just make sure if you are pregnant, you gave birth,” said Gabriela Berrospi, the founder of Latino Wall Street. “I know that said, I’m a citizen and it shouldn’t be so easy. You know, it’s not easy in other places and this is the best country in the world.”

If the Supreme Court sides with Trump, it could fundamentally alter the rule that grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Additionally, the court is expected to address the use of the Alien Enemies Act, which Trump employed to expedite the deportation of Venezuelans. This move was blocked by the court, setting the stage for a legal showdown.

Democrats argue that ending birthright citizenship would violate the Constitution and that using a wartime law for deportations denies due process. They have also criticized ICE operations in American cities, likening them to “modern-day slave patrols.” Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that officers cannot stop someone solely based on appearance, but in immigration cases, ethnicity can be considered alongside other factors.

The Trump administration continues to blame Democrats for the immigration crisis, asserting that the border is now secure. “The border is totally secure. You know, you forget we had a border that I inherited where millions of people were coming through. Now we have a border where no one is coming through,” said a Trump representative.

The Supreme Court could begin hearing arguments on birthright citizenship in the spring, with a decision potentially arriving by late June or early July.
