From AFP News Agency.
Protesters gather outside the US Supreme Court, which is considering Donald Trump’s historic bid to end birthright citizenship with the Republican president smashing protocol by sitting in the audience. The birthright case is a pillar in Trump’s attempts to restrict immigration and his decision to attend oral arguments is unprecedented for a sitting president. Trump signed an executive order on his return to the White House decreeing that children born to parents in the United States illegally or on temporary visas would not automatically become US citizens. Lower courts blocked the move as unconstitutional, ruling that under the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment nearly everyone born on US soil is an American citizen.
