The U.S. Supreme Court is meeting in private on Friday to consider taking on President Donald Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to noncitizen parents, according to the Associated Press.
Why It Matters
Moments after taking office for his second term, Trump signed an executive order titled "PROTECTING THE MEANING AND VALUE OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.” Trump's executive action seeks to prevent children born on U.S. soil from automatically receiving citizenship if neither parent was an American citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of birth.
The concept of birthright citizenship has long been established in the U.S., with the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States."
Trump pledged to launch the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history. His administration reported in September that “2 million illegal aliens have been removed or self-deported in just 250 days.”

This has been simmering on the back burner while the tariffs (and a million other issues) were in the spotlight.
The SCOTUS can complete the destruction of the United States of America if they even attempt to consider the 14th Amendment (where "Amendments" are something that require a full court press to enact and to repeal via the same process), "unconstitutional", or even try to cherry-pick some nonsense "exceptions". I believe that 4 Appellate Courts were like - "Oh HELL no" about that E.O.
