The Supreme Court on Thursday said it would hear oral arguments for President Donald Trump’s plan to end automatic birthright citizenship for individuals born in the U.S. to illegal migrants.
Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship has been halted by three district courts across the U.S., according to The Associated Press.
The Supreme Court will hear the oral arguments on May 15.
Trump’s policy to end birthright citizenship is blocked across the nation.
Birthright citizenship has been allowed due to the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which allows automatic citizenship to almost anyone born in the United States.
Some conservative scholars have argued that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment doesn’t grant citizenship to children of immigrants if they are born in the U.S., while liberal scholars argue it does.
