Kathmandu: The US Supreme Court, which currently holds a conservative majority, announced today that it will review the constitutionality of former President Donald Trump’s executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants.

Court to Hear Administration’s Appeal
In a brief statement, the Court confirmed that it has agreed to hear the Trump administration’s appeal against lower court decisions that blocked implementation of the order. The statement did not provide additional details regarding the hearing schedule or scope of review.

Details of the Executive Order
The executive order bars the federal government from issuing passports or citizenship certificates to children born in the United States if:

-Their mothers are residing in the country illegally or temporarily, and

-Their fathers are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents.

The case is expected to become a major legal battle, with significant implications for immigration policy and constitutional interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.
