By Andrew Chung (Reuters) -One of President Donald Trump's most contentious policies - his attempt to restrict automatic birthright citizenship - arrives at the U.S. Supreme Court this week with an unusual twist: The justices may focus on something else entirely.

The Supreme Court that will hear a case over birthright citizenship this week has been acting less like a group seeking consensus and more like nine justices clinging to their own interests.

President Trump’s efforts to upend the conventional understanding of birthright citizenship heads to the Supreme Court this week, the first time in his second term that the justices will consider a major administrative action from the bench.
