Supreme Court To Weigh Trump Birthright Citizenship Order Blocked By Lower Courts

The Supreme Court is privately meeting to decide whether to hear the Trump administration’s appeal over its executive order restricting birthright citizenship. Lower courts across multiple circuits have uniformly blocked the order as likely unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment, so it has not taken effect. If the Court grants review, arguments could come in the spring with a ruling by early summer. The case is part of a broader immigration crackdown, alongside legal fights over National Guard deployments and use of the Alien Enemies Act.
