WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court has agreed to take up the Trump administration’s legal challenge to an appeals court ruling that struck down on free speech grounds an immigration law that made it a felony to encourage people to come or stay illegally in the United States.
While the Trump administration argues the law needs to be revived so those who encourage illegal immigration can be taken to court, civil libertarians worry that the law is so broadly worded that it violates the First Amendment’s free speech protections.
