America's top judicial body will hear legal challenge disputing citizenship by birth.
The nation's highest court has agreed to take on a significant case that challenges a longstanding guarantee: automatic citizenship for people born in the United States.
On his first day in office this winter, the administration issued an executive order aiming to end birthright citizenship, but the order was halted by the judiciary after legal challenges were filed.
The Supreme Court's eventual ruling will either support citizenship rights for the offspring of migrants who are in the US without authorization or on non-immigrant visas, or it will end them completely.
Next, the court will calendar a session to hear the case between the government and the suing parties, which comprise immigrant parents and their newborns.
The 14th Amendment
For more than 150 years, the Fourteenth Amendment has codified the doctrine that anyone born in the nation is a US citizen, with specific conditions for children born to foreign diplomats and personnel of foreign military forces.
"Anyone born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The contested executive order sought to withhold citizenship to the children of people who are whether in the US in violation of immigration law or are in the country on short-term status.
The United States is one of about three dozen nations – largely in the Americas – that provide immediate citizenship to any person born on their soil.
