- The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on May 16, 2025, about challenges to President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship nationwide.

- The case involves constitutional issues under the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which the 1898 Supreme Court decision interpreted to grant citizenship to all children born on U.S. Soil.
- The Supreme Court’s decision could affect immigration policy and judicial authority nationwide, while uncertainty remains over the constitutional status of birthright citizenship restrictions.
