"WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to take up the constitutionality of President Donald Trump's order on birthright citizenship, declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens. The justices will hear Trump's appeal of a lower-court ruling that struck down the citizenship restrictions. They have not taken effect anywhere in the country. The case will be argued in the spring. A definitive ruling is expected by early summer."
"The administration is facing multiple court challenges, and the high court has sent mixed signals in emergency orders it has issued. The justices effectively stopped the use of the Alien Enemies Act to rapidly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without court hearings. But the Supreme Court allowed the resumption of sweeping immigration stops in the Los Angeles area after a lower court blocked the practice of stopping people solely based on their race, language, job or location."
The Supreme Court agreed to review President Donald Trump's order altering birthright citizenship, which declares children born to parents in the United States illegally or temporarily are not citizens. The justices will hear an appeal of a lower-court decision that struck down the restrictions; the order has not taken effect. The case will be argued in the spring with a ruling expected by early summer. The order is part of a broader immigration crackdown that includes enforcement surges and an invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. The high court has issued mixed emergency rulings while other immigration actions face ongoing challenges.
