The U.S. Supreme Court cast doubt on President Trump's argument for limiting birthright citizenship.
“Trump's executive order says children born in the U.S.”
appearance in the country illegally temporarily or even with a long-term visa are not automatically eligible. The ACLU argues that order violates a constitutional provision under the 14th Amendment, and P.R. is carried Johnson. The number of the justices at the center of the court from the Chief Justice John Roberts,
to Neil Gorsuch and other Trump appointee to Elana Cagan in Obama appointee, raise some questions about the Trump administration's case. Roberts said they, their arguments in some ways were quirky in idiosyncratic. Cagan called them esoteric. Gorsuch talked about how the solicitor General John Sauer was reaching to sources in
Rome in law to make his argument that the 14th Amendment didn't mean what it says.
Now, Trump was a first sitting president to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court,
and P.R.s. Nina Tottenberg, who has covered the high court for decades, noted the White House, imposed a new restriction on how journalists covered proceedings. Before the proceedings started, the guards told us to sit down,
“and I very clearly said, you know, this is our job as to look and see what's going on in this courtroom,”
at least before the proceedings begin. And they said, well, I'm sorry, this isn't our decision. This is a new rule that the White House imposed on us. So I didn't see anything. Election officials say they will challenge President Trump's decision to have the federal government play a role in mail-in ballots,
and P.R.s. Ashley Lopez reports. President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that seeks to create a list of U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state. The order also instructs the U.S. Postal Service to administer and track mail-in ballots nationwide, which is currently done by local officials. Legal experts and state election officials are calling this effort and overreach.
In the U.S. is a war against Iran. Israeli medic say a child has been critically wounded in an Iranian strike, and P.R.s. Daniel Lesteran has more from Tel Aviv. Medical officials say the young girl and several others were wounded when the Iran fired a cluster munition, a missile that opened up into smaller warheads.
“Israeli media is reporting Israeli defense officials anticipate increased Iranian missile fire,”
as Jews and Israel prepared to celebrate Passover this evening. In a televised speech, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed the biblical Passover story of the ten plagues in ancient Egypt. He said Israel had dealt ten plagues upon Iran and other enemies in the last few years of war. Israel is not believed to be playing a role in U.S. efforts toward Iran's ceasefire negotiations. Netanyahu's foreign policy adviser, Ophir Falk, told NPR,
"We're negotiating with bombs." Daniel Lesteran and P.R. News, Tel Aviv. "This is NPR News." Final ticket sales for the men's soccer World Cup kick off two more out. Here's NPR is Rafael Nam.
The sales window for the tournament opens on Wednesday on FIFA's website.
Unlike previous sales, this one is first come, first serve,
and tickets will continue to be sold through the tournament. Realistically though, popular games such as the final will sell quickly. FIFA continues to face criticism about its high ticket prices, and the adoption of a dynamic pricing. FIFA has not disclosed what prices it will be charging this time around,
or how many tickets it will be selling. FIFA has defended its sale, saying it's adapting its pricing to an North American market, and that its goal is to ensure fair access to tickets. Raphael Nam, NPR News. Few multinational corporations have inspired as much mythologizing as Apple Inc.
NPR's Chloe Veltman reports a tech giant has played an active role in projecting a counter-cultural image since its founding five decades ago. Apple's 1997 think different ad campaign presents an idealised image of its place at the center of not just the technological revolution, but the cultural one too.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits, the rebels. Today, Apple is one of the world's most profitable corporations, and in some ways has strayed from its roots. The company has been criticized lately,
such as when it's CEO Tim Cook donated a million dollars to the president's second inauguration. Cook recently told Good Morning America, he's not political. He also resurfaced the think different catchphrase in his statement celebrating Apple's 50th.
