America's top judicial body agrees to hear legal challenge questioning citizenship by birth.
The nation's highest court has will hear a landmark case that puts to the test a historic principle: automatic citizenship for individuals born in the United States.
On day one in office this January, President Donald Trump signed an order aiming to halt birthright citizenship, but the action was struck down by the judiciary after legal challenges were initiated.
The Supreme Court's eventual decision will either support citizenship rights for the offspring of foreign nationals who are in the US without authorization or on non-immigrant visas, or it will nullify those rights completely.
Next, the court will schedule a date to hear oral arguments between the administration and plaintiffs, which comprise foreign-born parents and their young children.
The Legal Foundation
For nearly 160 years, the 14th Amendment has established the doctrine that all individuals born in the nation is a citizen, with specific conditions for children born to diplomats and personnel of foreign military forces.
"Every individual born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The disputed executive order sought to withhold citizenship to the children of people who are either in the US without legal status or are in the country on temporary visas.
The United States is one of about 30 countries – largely in the Western Hemisphere – that grant automatic citizenship to anyone born on their soil.
