The Supreme Court has agreed to consider the Trump administration's request to implement restrictions on birthright citizenship while litigation continues.

The Trump administration argued that district court judges should not be able to govern "the whole nation" from their courtroom and urged the Supreme Court to rein in their ability to issue nationwide injunctions.

States challenging Trump's order argued that the government fails to show how it will be harmed by continuing to interpret the law "as it has long been understood."

The states expressed concern that the government's proposed rule would leave tens of thousands of infants born on U.S. soil undocumented, subject to removal or detention, and possibly stateless.
