President Donald Trump has been on a crusade to end birthright citizenship for years. Challenging the long-held legal consensus that anyone born in the United States is granted citizenship, he signed an executive order stripping that right away from the children of undocumented parents and temporary visa holders. The order set in motion a flurry of lawsuits challenging Trump’s ability to make sweeping changes to birthright citizenship. And now it’s headed to the Supreme Court in a case called Trump v. Barbara.
This is the second episode of The Docket, a new Patreon-exclusive Vox video series covering Supreme Court cases that could alter the fabric of American life.
