Looking to limit birthright citizenship, Trump turns to an 1884 Supreme Court ruling against a Native American - NBC News
Overview
The administration has cited the 1884 Elk v. Wilkins decision to support efforts to limit birthright citizenship, a strategy that has faced skepticism from Supreme Court justices. The new rule requiring visa holders to leave the U.S. to apply for green cards is part of the same pattern of policy changes aimed at narrowing immigration rights and benefits. Together, these actions increase legal uncertainty over long-standing immigration protections and signal a coordinated push to reshape who can obtain and retain U.S. status.
