– The SCOTUS heard arguments on whether automatic citizenship can be denied to babies born in the country to parents who are in the US illegally or on temporary visas.

— The hearing stems from Trump's signing of an executive order on the first day of his second term, which challenged the longstanding interpretation of a 14th century constitutional provision guaranteeing birthright citizenship to nearly everyone.
