The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to look at whether President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order is constitutional.

A petition seeking review by the nation’s highest court was filed late on Sept. 26, Reuters reported. The Supreme Court is currently in its summer recess. It will open a new term hearing oral arguments on Oct. 6.
