Description

President Donald Trump’s administration is taking its fight over birthright citizenship to the U.S. Supreme Court. The administration is asking the justices to uphold Trump’s executive order that denies citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants or temporary visa holders.Lower courts have repeatedly blocked the policy, ruling it unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Now, the case could set up a major showdown at the nation’s highest court, with a decision possible by early summer.
