In one of its final moves of the term, the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship. Radio Atlantic host Hanna Rosin sits down with University of Virginia law professor Amanda Frost to discuss the ruling, the dissents, and what it all means for Trump’s immigration agenda.

Frost is also the author of “You Are Not American: Citizenship Stripping From Dred Scott to the Dreamers.”
