#SCOTUS #BirthrightCitizenship case

One of #Trump's most contentious policies - his attempt to restrict automatic #birthright #citizenship - arrives at the #SupremeCourt this week with a predictable twist: The justices may focus on something else entirely.

Federal judges in #Washington state, #Massachusetts & #Maryland issued orders blocking Trump's January #ExecutiveOrder nationwide, finding it violated language in the #Constitution.

The #Trump poster-person for the first Afrikaner #refugees from supposed anti-white racism in #SouthAfrica.

She is not a #refugee by any definition, yet she is being flown here at #taxpayer expense & handed a path to #citizenship while actual refugees are turned away.

Also Trump claims he’s granting "refugee" status to "white farmers”, but this woman lives in Cape Town, isn’t a farmer, & it doesn't seem like she's #Afrikaner since her bio says she was born in Zimbabwe.

The #Trump admin has, for the first time ever, built a searchable national #citizenship #data system.

The tool, which is being rolled out in phases, is designed to be used by state & local election officials [sure] to give them an easier way to ensure only citizens are voting. But it was developed rapidly without a public process, & some are already worrying about what else it could be used for.

NPR is the first to report….

"Trump🚨isn't hiding his fascist dreams. In just the past 24 hrs:

*Threatened to deport US citizens “born in our country” *defines as “bad ppl."

*Vowed to investigate NYC’s Dem mayoral nominee Mamdani *if he’s in the US “illegally.”

*He'd look into whether Musk was legally in the US.

*Joyfully visited the new fascist spectacle: #AlligatorAlcatraz” +vowed to build even more such camps."

*He/Noem threatened to criminally prosecute CNN rptrs.

AP spent a day outside a LA detention center: "On a recent day, dozens of people arrived with medication, clothing and hope of seeing their loved one, if only briefly. After hours of waiting, many were turned away with no news, not even confirmation that their relative was inside. Some relayed reports of horrific conditions inside, including inmates who are so thirsty that they have been drinking from the toilets."
