America's top judicial body agrees to review case questioning citizenship by birth.
The top court has decided to review a significant case that puts to the test a longstanding guarantee: birthright citizenship for individuals born within US borders.
On day one in office this winter, President Donald Trump signed an order aiming to terminate this practice, but the order was halted by federal courts after constitutional questions were initiated.
The Supreme Court's final decision will either affirm citizenship rights for the offspring of migrants who are in the US without authorization or on non-immigrant visas, or it will nullify the provision entirely.
Next, the justices will set a time to hear arguments between the administration and plaintiffs, which involve immigrant parents and their young children.
A Constitutional Cornerstone
For over a century and a half, the 14th Amendment has established the principle that anyone born in the United States is a American citizen, with specific conditions for children born to embassy personnel and members of occupying armies.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The disputed directive sought to deny citizenship to the children of people who are either in the US in violation of immigration law or are in the country on temporary visas.
The United States belongs to a group of about 30 countries – largely in the Western Hemisphere – that grant immediate citizenship to anyone born on their soil.
