When will the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship decision come down?
The justices are weighing a challenge that could affect thousands of future births and reshape immigration enforcement, advocates said.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on President Donald Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants in the United States.
This case challenges the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to persons born or naturalized in the United States, and Trump's order disputes the amendment's jurisdiction language.
Immigration attorney Tessy Ortiz warned the ruling could create confusion for hospitals, stating, "It's for future births, but it is going to have a huge impact on hospitals."
Recent rulings allowed the administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian refugees, a decision that could soon lead to thousands of deportations.
Before finishing its term, the Supreme Court is weighing other high-profile cases, including whether to uphold laws in roughly half the states prohibiting transgender girls from public school sports.
