Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Wednesday about birthright citizenship. President Trump argues that citizenship should not be guaranteed if the parents came to the US illegally. As NPR's Domenico Montanaro explains, public opinion is split on the matter.

It's complicated and nuanced. I mean, Americans are heavily in favor of granting citizenship to children born to parents who were also born in the United States or those who immigrated to the US Legally. But they're split on or much less in support of automatic citizenship for children born to parents who immigrated illegally. For example, a Pew Research center survey found 9 in 10 are for it for children born to US citizens, but they were split 50 to 49 for babies born to those without legal status or who cross the border illegally. YouGov found it to be even lower than that. And I'll note that there's a wide range of percentages when you look at other polls on this, even among very reputable surveys.

of UN peacekeeping, Jean Pierre Lacroix, says two Indonesian peacekeepers were killed in an explosion that hit a logistics convoy. Another Indonesian was killed Sunday when a UN base was shelled. Lacroix says both incidents are under investigation and it's not clear if the latest attack was a shelling or a roadside bomb. We strongly condemn these unacceptable incidents, and peacekeepers must never be a target. Lacroix says he's in constant contact with the Israeli military, which has expanded what he described as a buffer zone inside Lebanon as it tries to push Hezbollah further. The UN is constrained in what it can do. Lacroix says the UN's mandate there ends this year. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, the State Department,

Residents say heavily armed fighters stormed communities in the Artibonid Valley before dawn on Sunday, setting homes on fire and shooting at civilians. Some victims were reportedly burned alive. Local authorities have confirmed at least 16 deaths, but the United nations says the toll could be significantly higher. The assault is being blamed on the Grand Griff gang, which says it was retaliating against a rival group. Aid workers and residents say gang members blocked roads and destroyed bridges. The attack highlights how insecurity is spreading into rural areas critical to Haiti's food supply far beyond the capital. For NPR News, I'm Harold Isaac in Port au Prince.
