Hundreds rally for birthright citizenship at supreme court: ‘We are an immigrant nation’

Some underscore Trump’s unprecedented court appearance as protesters defend 14th amendment right

Around 250 demonstrators packed the steps of the supreme court on Wednesday, chanting in defense of birthright citizenship as Donald Trump himself watched from the public gallery in an unprecedented appearance.

Beija McCarter, an eighth grade US history teacher, and Noah Goldstein, a New Yorker who was also at last month’s trans rights rally, both arrived at the demonstration with little optimism about what the justices inside might decide.
