Will babies born to immigrants living illegally in some states be entitled to citizenship, but not in others? Can children born to such parents in states where the order is in effect be deported?
On his first day in office, President Donald
Trump
issued an executive order intended to end birthright citizenship, a foundational principle that grants U.S.
citizenship
to all children born on U.S. soil. That right has been enshrined in the Constitution for more than 160 years.
Lawsuits challenging the directive were swiftly filed, and judges in several states issued nationwide injunctions to stop the order from going into effect. But Friday, the
Supreme Court
sided largely with the Trump administration. Although it did not rule on the constitutionality of the executive order on birthright citizenship, it did reject the nationwide injunctions that had blocked the order — clearing the way for it to be applied, at least temporarily, in a majority of states.
