Supreme Court to Review Challenge to Birthright Citizenship

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear a case concerning President Donald Trump's attempt to restrict birthright citizenship. This long-standing legal principle automatically grants citizenship to anyone born on American soil. Several lower courts have already blocked the administration's policy. They ruled that changing the citizenship rule requires a constitutional amendment, not a presidential order. The Court's decision to review these rulings places a foundational immigration issue before the nation's highest judicial body. Its eventual ruling will determine whether the current interpretation of birthright citizenship remains law.
