President Donald Trump’s relationship with the Supreme Court appears to be more tense than ever, and it could get even worse as the justices prepare to hear a major immigration case.
The court has agreed to consider a challenge to birthright citizenship a core part of Trump’s immigration agenda.
Trump has long argued that being born in the United States should not automatically grant citizenship to children of non‑citizens.
That position has already sparked public controversy and political debate. Now the Supreme Court will weigh in on whether such a policy change is constitutional.
Trump’s public criticism of the judiciary has escalated in recent months especially after the justices rejected his tariffs and Wednesday’s development is likely to intensify the feud.
At a recent event, Trump received a standing ovation from Republican lawmakers after declaring that “the duty of the American government does not extend to non‑citizens,” and attacking Democrats for not supporting his immigration policies.
But legal experts say Trump may be preparing for setbacks at the Supreme Court.
The justices an institution that Trump himself helped reshape with three appointments could rule against him in the birthright citizenship case.
As the legal battle unfolds, the clash between the White House and the nation’s highest court underscores mounting tensions over immigration, presidential authority and constitutional limits.
