An appeals court will not allow the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship for certain children of immigrants, in a ruling that could propel the issue to the Supreme Court.
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday declined an emergency Justice Department request that it lift the hold a Seattle judge had placed blocking implementation of President Donald Trump's executive order, after concluding the order ran afoul of the Constitution.
The 9th Circuit panel - made up of a Trump appointee, a Jimmy Carter appointee and a George W.
Bush appointee - said that a closer review of the case will move forward in its court, with arguments slated for June.
