Live on WGCU-FM: The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments at 10 a.m. ET over the constitutionality of President Donald Trump's order to end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to someone in the country illegally or temporarily. The birthright citizenship order, which Trump signed on Jan. 20, 2025, the first day of his second term, is part of his Republican administration's broad immigration crackdown. Trump plans to be in attendance. He will be the first sitting president to attend oral arguments at the nation's highest court. Every lower court to have considered the issue has found the order illegal and prevented it from taking effect. A definitive ruling by the nation's highest court is expected by early summer.
