The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has challenged the long-standing interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment. In an amicus brief filed with the Court, the organization argues that such children do not meet the legal requirement of being subject to U.S. jurisdiction, contending that the precedent established in the 1898 case United States v. Wong Kim Ark does not apply to this category of claimants.

Supreme Court poised to rule on birthright citizenship
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to deliver a definitive ruling in Trump v. Barbara, a case poised to redefine citizenship for children born on American soil to parents lacking legal status or holding temporary visas. The decision will address whether these individuals fall under the jurisdiction of the United States.
Legal experts from FAIR, including former federal immigration judge and deputy executive director Matt O'Brien, deputy general counsel Christopher Hajec, director of litigation Matt Crapo, and director of investigations Mateo Forero, are prepared to analyze the implications of the forthcoming opinion. The ruling stands as a pivotal moment in constitutional law, with the potential to fundamentally alter the nation's approach to birthright eligibility.
