WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to review the legality of President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, which has been considered sacrosanct for more than a century.
After taking office on January 20, Donald Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to stop recognizing the citizenship of children born in the country after February 19 if neither parent is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
The Trump administration argues that the Constitution does not grant citizenship rights to the children of "temporary aliens or illegal immigrants" because such parents are allegedly "not subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States in the constitutional sense.
Shortly after the executive order was signed, numerous lawsuits were filed challenging it. Several federal judges temporarily blocked the order.
On June 27, the Supreme Court ruled that federal district courts do not have the authority to issue nationwide or blanket injunctions blocking compliance with the order.
The birthright issue is one of many problems with Trump's immigration policy that various parties are appealing to the Supreme Court to resolve. –0–
