Supreme Court Decision to Rule on Birthright Citizenship Follows NH Lawsuit

The U.S. Supreme Court will take up a case that began in New Hampshire that would determine the constitutionality of President Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship.

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.

A federal judge in New Hampshire blocked the order after the ACLU filed a class-action lawsuit that would include all children affected by the order.

A decision by the Supreme Court is expected by next summer.
