Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
The Supreme Court has heard oral arguments in a case related to President Trump’s changes to US birthright citizenship rules. The court’s majority appears inclined to rule against Trump on this issue.
Trump attended the oral arguments, marking a first for a sitting president. The case involves Trump’s executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship to children born to non-citizens who are in the United States illegally.
The Supreme Court justices have expressed skepticism about Trump’s changes to US birthright citizenship rules. The court is expected to issue its decision by June, although no specific date has been set.
The case centers on a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act that grants citizenship to children born in the United States if at least one parent is an American citizen. Trump’s executive order would have restricted this provision to only apply to children whose parents are US citizens or lawful permanent residents.
The court’s decision will determine whether Trump’s changes to birthright citizenship rules are constitutional and should be implemented nationwide.
