As the Supreme Court considers two cases involving transgender student athletes, Nevada leaders are considering taking steps on the issue themselves.
The Supreme Court has agreed to take up the constitutionality of President Trump’s order on birthright citizenship.
The judge announced his decision Thursday after an hour-long hearing and said a written order will follow.
The outcome was a victory for Trump, who has complained about individual judges throwing up obstacles to his agenda.
Immigrants, rights groups and states, including Nevada sued almost immediately to challenge the executive order.
The U.S. is among about 30 countries where birthright citizenship - the principle of jus soli or “right of the soil” - is applied.
22 states, including Nevada, are challenging President Trump’s executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship.
At least 26 states have adopted laws restricting or banning such care for minors, and most of those states face lawsuits.
The outcome means additional delay before Donald Trump could face trial in the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.
