It's one of the most consequential cases of Trump's second term.
Today, birthright citizenship heads to the Supreme Court.
Trump has essentially got crushed in the lower courts so far,
but he's hoping that the Supreme Court will take a different view.
Europe is hoping for a quick end to the war,
but the Associated Press explains why countries in the Gulf are pushing the U.S. to fight on.
And why a judge put a stop to the White House ballroom.
It's Wednesday, April 1st.

For more than 150 years, people born in the United States
have been largely considered citizens no matter the legal status of their parents.
Today, the Supreme Court will begin hearing oral arguments
that could decide whether that principle, enshrined by the 14th Amendment, will remain.
The case is testing an executive order that President Trump signed on the first day of his second term.
It aimed to end automatic birthright citizenship
and instead limit it to people with at least one parent who is a citizen or legal permanent resident.
James Romoser is a reporter for the Wall Street Journal covering the Supreme Court and explains the case.
Trump says that century plus of consensus over what the 14th Amendment means is actually wrong
and that the amendment was never intended to grant citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants.
