15.05.2025 โ‡ข Birthright Citizenship Showdown Day
โŒจThe Supreme Court heard arguments on Trump's birthright citizenship executive order, which would deny automatic citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants.

Internationally, Istanbul peace talks between Ukraine and Russia descended into confusion as Putin declined to attend, with Zelensky calling the Russian delegation "phony." Trump, continuing his Middle East tour in Qatar and UAE, secured trillion-dollar economic commitments while downplaying Putin's absence.

WASHINGTON (AP) โ€” The Supreme Court is hearing its first set of Trump-related arguments in the second Trump presidency. The case stems from the executive order President Donald Trump issued on his first day in office that would deny citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. The executive order marks a major change to the provision of the 14th Amendment that grants citizenship to people born in the United States, with just a couple of exceptions.
