Donald Trump’s legal team is citing racist and xenophobic legal arguments in a bid to get the Supreme Court to allow the president to strip birthright citizenship.
The administration is hoping that the nation’s highest court will side with Trump as he attempts to end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants, with legal arguments in the high-profile case beginning Wednesday.
As The Washington Post reports, Trump’s legal team, including Solicitor General D. John Sauer, is referencing arguments from three lawyers who had previously attempted to remove birthright citizenship using anti-Black and anti-Chinese racism to bolster their own case.
