A federal appellate court is weighing whether to allow President Trump to end the constitutional guarantee to birthright citizenship.

The Justice Department on Wednesday pressed a federal appeals court to reverse a judge’s ruling that blocked nationwide President Donald Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship.

A U.S. appeals court appeared likely on Wednesday to conclude that President Donald Trump's executive order curtailing automatic birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, though it may wait for the Supreme Court to first decide whether to narrow judicial orders that have prevented it from taking effect.
