SCOTUS set to to tackle Birthright Citizenship Wednesday; Idaho AG backs Trump’s executive order

The United States Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments tomorrow, April 1, in the landmark case Trump v. Barbara, a legal battle challenging President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.

In anticipation of the hearing, Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador announced that Idaho has joined 23 other states in an amicus brief supporting the executive order. Labrador is urging the high court to overturn current interpretations and restore what he calls the "original understanding" of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.
