Trump Seeks Citizenship Ban

The Trump administration appeals to the Supreme Court to uphold a birthright-citizenship ban.
Executive order signed in January by President Donald Trump denies citizenship to children of undocumented migrants and those on temporary visas.
Supporters say it violates the 14th Amendment. The administration says it applies to those legally in the U.S.

Trump's Legal Triumph

In 2024, conservative attorney Sauer joined Trump's legal team and won a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
Sauer also represented Trump in a New York civil fraud case, and the court upheld the fraud judgment while dismissing the penalty.
Trump nominated Sauer as U.S. solicitor general, and Senate confirmed him to represent the government in Supreme Court cases.
