00:02The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on whether Trump's executive order can end
00:06automatic birthright citizenship for people born in the U.S., regardless of their parents'
00:11immigration status, according to CNBC. President Trump attended the session and left shortly
00:15after arguments against the order began. The order, which was signed on Trump's first day
00:19back in the White House, would deny citizenship documents to babies born in the U.S. if their
00:23parents are undocumented or in the country illegally. Solicitor General D. John Sauer
00:28said birthright citizenship has driven birth tourism by foreigners and now allows people
00:32worldwide to travel to the U.S. to have children who gain citizenship.
00:36Chief Justice John Roberts questioned Sauer's argument, saying it relies on rare and unusual
00:40examples that do not justify denying citizenship to a broader group of children born in the U.S.
00:46Cecilia Wang, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, argued against Trump's order,
00:50saying the established rule is that everyone born in the U.S. is a citizen.
