Lawfare No Bull: Supreme Court Hears Oral Arguments on Birthright Citizenship Challenge

Today on Lawfare No Bull: On April 1, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Trump v. Barbara, which centered on a challenge to the president’s executive order signed on Jan. 20, 2025, that attempted to end birthright citizenship. Over the course of two hours, the justices questioned U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer and the ACLU’s Cecillia Wang on how the order comports with the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, the ambassadors and tribal exceptions, the Immigration and Nationality Act, precedent set in the Court’s 1898 decision in Wong Kim Ark, and more.
