WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from 13 Republican state attorneys-general to overturn a 2020 federal court ruling that struck down a Trump administration immigration restriction, the court’s list of orders granted said on Friday.
“Arizona et. Al. v. San Francisco, Ca [California] et. Al. The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted limited to Question 1 presented by the petition,” the court announced in its “Certiorari Granted” list of cases it has agreed to hear.
The federal ruling was issued by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is usually regarded as highly liberal. However, the US Supreme Court, following a series of appointments made by President Donald Trump has a six-to-three majority of conservative justices.

President Joe Biden's administration dropped the government's defense of the policy. A federal judge in the state of Illinois in a separate case vacated the rule nationwide.
