From Fox News: The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments next month in the case challenging President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, in what is likely to be one of the most highly anticipated cases to be reviewed by the high court since Trump took office.
The justices said Thursday that they would hear arguments on the consolidated cases on May 15, roughly four weeks from now.
The Trump administration in March asked the Supreme Court to intervene and allow a narrow version of the president’s executive order ending birthright citizenship to proceed. Trump signed the order on his first day in office and was immediately met with a flurry of lawsuits across the country.
The administration’s appeal concerns three nationwide injunctions brought in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington state. All three states had issued nationwide injunctions blocking the birthright citizenship ban from taking force – a move that lawyers for the Trump administration argued in their Supreme Court filing was overly broad.

President Trump reacted to the news that the issue is going before the Supreme Court.
“I am so happy. I think the case has been so misunderstood… birthright citizenship is about slavery,” he explained.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the following statement:
I’m very pleased to hear that the Supreme Court will review President Trump’s executive order to end the abuses of birthright citizenship.
I have long believed that the 14th amendment does not require granting citizenship to the children of illegal aliens or foreign nationals here on temporary, nonimmigrant visas. To that end, last year I introduced legislation to limit birthright citizenship.
One of the greatest pull factors for illegal immigration is birthright citizenship. In addition, birth tourism, particularly involving China, is a large industry where people obtain tourist visas for the purpose of giving birth in the U.S. and establishing U.S. citizenship for that child. It is far past time for the United States to recognize the original, constitutional definition of birthright citizenship, as the current practice is being abused in so many ways.
It is my hope the Court will settle this issue once and for all, and that my legislation to stop the abuse of birthright citizenship will pass quickly.
