US EditionSupreme Court agrees to decide if Trump may end birthright citizenship
The Supreme Court will examine the constitutionality of Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship, potentially overturning a 127-year legal precedent under the 14th Amendment.
- On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review President Donald Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship and will hear arguments next year, likely deciding by the end of June.
- Rooted in a narrower reading of the 14th Amendment, Solicitor General D. John Sauer argues the 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' clause covers only children who bear allegiance, as Trump seeks to restore the Clause's original meaning.
- Lower courts have already ruled the executive order unlawful and it has not been implemented since Jan. 20, with the American Civil Liberties Union representing two babies who would be subject to the order.
- A ruling for the administration would upend a longstanding tenet of the 14th Amendment and U.S. immigration law, marking the high court's first full merits consideration of the plan this year.
- Despite being considered fringe by many conservatives, the dispute will draw considerable public focus to the Court term as legal observers note the court's conservative majority often avoids clashes with President Donald Trump.
