The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on May 15 in a case concerning the Trump administration's efforts to end birthright citizenship. However, the justices will not be ruling on the constitutionality of the policy itself. Instead, they will consider whether lower court judges overstepped by issuing nationwide injunctions that blocked the policy from taking effect.

The case stems from an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on his first day back in office. Executive Order 14160 aims to end automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants or certain non-citizens, such as those on temporary visas.
