The administration aims to implement the policy in parts of the country while legal challenges are ongoing, a key point of contention during the Supreme Court arguments.

A decision from the Supreme Court is expected by late June 2025, which could have significant implications for citizenship rules across the nation.

Legal experts widely assert that the 14th Amendment guarantees automatic citizenship to individuals born in the U.S., with exceptions primarily for children of diplomats.

The Court's examination will focus on whether lower courts overstepped their authority by issuing nationwide injunctions against the administration's order.

The involvement of the Supreme Court comes after appeals courts refused to lift the stays imposed by lower courts, highlighting the contentious nature of the issue.

Historical precedent, such as the landmark Supreme Court case US v. Wong Kim Ark, affirms citizenship for individuals born in the U.S., and the current court has shown no inclination to revisit this foundational ruling.

Legal analysts warn that a ruling in favor of the Trump administration could allow a policy deemed unconstitutional by many to take effect, despite widespread opposition.

A coalition of 22 Democratic state attorneys general and immigrant rights advocates have filed lawsuits asserting that Trump's order violates the 14th Amendment.

President Donald Trump's executive order seeks to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally, but it has faced significant legal challenges, being blocked by three district courts.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments regarding this controversial executive order on May 15, 2025, marking the first major challenge to the new administration's policies.

Multiple federal judges have labeled Trump's birthright citizenship order as "blatantly unconstitutional," with the first injunction issued by Judge John Coughenour in Seattle.

The Department of Justice argues that allowing a single judge to block presidential actions nationwide undermines the Executive Branch's authority.
