The Supreme Court is hearing arguments this week on the constitutionality of President Trump's move to end birthright citizenship. An executive order, signed on Trump's first day back in office, declares children born to parents without permanent legal status would no longer be automatically granted citizenship.
The policy "is deeply illegal, unconstitutional and morally wrong," says Cody Wofsy, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project.
