US Supreme Court has decided to review legal challenge questioning birthright citizenship.
The nation's highest court has will hear a pivotal case that puts to the test a century-old principle: birthright citizenship for those born on American soil.
On his first day in office this January, the administration issued an executive order aiming to terminate birthright citizenship, but the action was halted by the judiciary after lawsuits were brought forward.
The Supreme Court's final decision will either affirm citizenship rights for the children of migrants who are in the US without authorization or on temporary visas, or it will nullify them altogether.
Next, the justices will set a time to hear the case between the federal government and claimants, which involve immigrant parents and their newborns.
A Constitutional Cornerstone
For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has codified the doctrine that anyone born in the nation is a American citizen, with certain exclusions for children born to embassy personnel and personnel of foreign military forces.
"Anyone born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The disputed directive sought to deny citizenship to the offspring of people who are whether in the US in violation of immigration law or are in the country on temporary visas.
The United States is one of about three dozen nations β mostly in the Americas β that award instant citizenship to all those born within their borders.
