The Supreme Court will decide the future of President Donald Trump’s effort to overturn birthright citizenship, agreeing Thursday to hear oral arguments next month.
Rather than rule on the Trump administration’s requests to pause rulings from lower courts in Washington, New Jersey and Maryland that kept the policy unchanged, the justices set oral arguments for May 15 on the issue. The Trump administration asked the justices to intervene last month after several lower courts ruled that his policy likely violated the Constitution.
The justices would likely rule in the case before the end of the court’s term in June.
