The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear the case over President Donald Trump's executive order directing federal agencies to interpret the 14th Amendment as excluding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens and tourists, CBS News reported.

Trump imposed the order as a means of combating the practice of birth tourism and the creation of "anchor babies," intended to present an obstacle to deportations.

Thus far, the Department of Justice has struggled to defend the order in the lower courts and it remains unclear whether the conservative-friendly justices will be more receptive to their arguments.

A decision will likely come in early 2026.
