US Supreme Court appears sceptical of Trump plan to limit birthright citizenship

The Supreme Court has appeared sceptical of President Donald Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship, a sign the justices could strike down a key element of his immigration agenda.
A majority of the court seemed unconvinced the US should stop granting citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants and some temporary US visitors.

The administration has argued that limiting birthright citizenship is necessary to rein in illegal immigration. Opponents argue it would upend more than a century of precedent and unravel a cornerstone of US immigration law.

Trump attended the oral arguments on Wednesday, a rare move by a sitting president that underscored the case's high stakes.
