Listen live: Supreme Court takes up birthright citizenship

From USA TODAY.

The Supreme Court is debating today whether federal judges went too far when they paused President Donald Trump’s restrictions on the automatic right to citizenship for children born in the United States.

Judges have ruled the policy will likely be found unconstitutional when it’s fully litigated so Trump can’t enforce it in the meantime.

The Trump administration argues the executive order he signed his first day back in office can only be paused for the individuals challenging the president’s executive order.

The states, immigrants’ rights groups and expectant parents who successfully sought national injunctions say they’re the only way to prevent a chaotic patchwork of citizenship rules across the country.
