The Trump administration filed a pair of petitions to the Supreme Court asking the justices to hear appeals on its birthright citizenship order, which could add to the growing list of questions related to President Donald Trump ‘s actions that the high court will consider in its term.

The two petitions appeared on the Supreme Court’s public docket on Monday after being filed late Friday, and they urged the justices to take appeals in both cases, which were brought by Democrat-led states and a group of people who could be affected by Trump’s order.
