Numerous states have sued over Trump's plan to end the 14th Amendment policy.
A federal judge will hear a request made by four Democratic-led states to issue a temporary restraining order against thesigned by Trump that purports to limit birthright citizenship to people who have at least one parent who is a United States citizen or permanent resident.
"The Plaintiff States will also suffer irreparable harm because thousands of children will be born within their borders but denied full participation and opportunity in American society," the lawsuit says. "Absent a temporary restraining order, children born in the Plaintiff States will soon be rendered undocumented, subject to removal or detention, and many stateless.
Taking effect next month, Trump's executive order seeks to reinterpret the 14th Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship by arguing a child born in the United States to an undocumented mother cannot receive citizenship unless his or her father is a citizen or green card holder.
