What It Would Look Like If the Trump Administration Got Its Way in the Birthright Citizenship Case
Briefly

The Supreme Court is currently deliberating on Trump v. CASA, a case concerning the legality of President Trump's executive order regarding birthright citizenship, particularly for children of undocumented immigrants. This case underscores the stark geographical disparities in citizenship rights, as demonstrated by a comparison between Texas and Maryland. If the court sides with Trump, many children born to undocumented parents in certain states could be rendered stateless, fundamentally changing the landscape of immigration law and citizenship rights in the U.S.
