US Supreme Court

The temporary order will allow the $400m (£297m) project to continue while the high court mulls a final decision on the case.

Forcing the US president to go "hat-in-hand to Congress" for permission would be "dangerous", the administration says.

The Trump administration is trying to restrict access to US citizenship for some people through attempts to end birth tourism and tighten other criteria.

The executive orders ban birth tourism and expand the existing definition of people whose children are not eligible for US birthright citizenship.

Two justices appeared before Congress to ask for $228m (£170.3m) in security funding as threats continue to rise - both in person and online.

The long-shot bid by Trump comes a week after the high court ruled that those born in the US have a constitutional right to citizenship.

The ruling is a major setback for Donald Trump's immigration agenda, and has been welcomed by civil rights groups.
