The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear oral arguments over President Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship, as the measure remains on hold. The hearing is scheduled for May 15, with a decision likely to be issued later in the summer. Several federal lower court judges have blocked the order, saying it violates the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. Trump signed the executive order on his first day back in office.
