Trump Urges Gasoline Retailers to Cut Prices to $2.50 Per Gallon, Warns of Legal Action 
President Donald Trump made a rare personal appearance at the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to witness oral arguments in a landmark case centered on his executive order restricting birthright citizenship — marking one of the most politically charged moments in recent constitutional history.
Trump confirmed his plans to attend the session just a day prior, with the White House officially announcing his presence at the 10 a.m. EDT hearing. The visit underscores just how much weight the administration places on reshaping immigration policy in the United States.
At the heart of the case is Trump's January 2025 executive order, signed on his first day back in office, directing federal agencies to deny citizenship to children born on U.S. soil if neither parent holds American citizenship or legal permanent residency. The order was quickly challenged and blocked by a lower court, which ruled it violated the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution along with existing federal law that has long upheld birthright citizenship rights.
The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, has traditionally been interpreted to grant citizenship to virtually all individuals born on American soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Trump's directive would represent one of the most significant reinterpretations of this constitutional provision in modern history.
Trump, who has been vocal about his mixed views on the current Supreme Court justices, criticized appointments made by Democratic former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama while expressing support for others on the bench.
Civil rights organizations and immigration advocates argue that the administration's broader crackdown has instilled widespread fear among immigrant communities and undermines constitutional protections. The Trump administration, however, maintains these measures are essential to national security and curbing illegal immigration.
The Supreme Court's eventual ruling could permanently reshape American citizenship law for generations to come.
