Norman Wong, the great-grandson of Wong Kim Ark, and his wife Maureen stand near the cherry blossoms along the Tidal Basin after attending a demostration outside the U.S. Supreme Court building on the day the court hears oral arguments on the legality of the Trump administration's effort to limit birthright citizenship for the children of immigrants, in Washington, D.C., U.S., April 1, 2026. In 1898, Wong Kim Ark challenged the U.S. government after being denied re-entry to the country following a trip to his parents' homeland. Though he was born in the United States, authorities claimed he was not a citizen. The Supreme Court ruled in his favour, firmly establishing that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship.
