With President Donald Trump present, US Supreme Court justices signalled skepticism on Wednesday over the legality of his directive to restrict birthright citizenship in the US, part of his hardline immigration approach that would upend the long-standing interpretation of a key constitutional provision.
In his historic visit to the top US judicial body, Trump, wearing a red tie and dark suit, sat in the front row of the public gallery of the ornate courtroom after arriving by motorcade from the White House. The Republican president then left midway through the proceedings, shortly after the Justice Department lawyer representing his administration completed his presentation.
Most of the nine justices, conservatives and liberals alike, grilled the lawyer on the legal validity of Trump’s executive order and its practical implications. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority.
The justices heard more than two hours of arguments in the administration’s appeal of a lower court decision that blocked his directive. Trump’s order had instructed US agencies not to recognise the citizenship of children born in the United States if neither parent is an American citizen or legal permanent resident, also called a “green card” holder.
