President Donald Trump called Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson 'the new, Low IQ person' while renewing attacks on the Supreme Court as it weighed a challenge to birthright citizenship. Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed in 2022 as the first Black woman on the Court and is a Harvard-educated jurist. The remark continues Trump's repeated use of the 'low IQ' epithet against non-white opponents and raises the stakes as the Court considers a case that could narrow birthright citizenship and reshape immigration policy.
