Supreme Court to hear birthright citizenship arguments in May
The Supreme Court will hear arguments this spring on President Trump’s plan to end automatic birthright citizenship. On his first day in office, the president signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for the children of people who are in the U-S illegally. That order was halted nationwide by three district courts. During arguments on May 15th, the Supreme Court will consider whether those lower-court judges exceeded their authority. In the meantime, the president’s executive order remains blocked.
