  • Good morning.

  • 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.

  • I'm Cecilia Lei and this is Apple News Today.

  • 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.
