TRUMP FIGHTS Back: Supreme Court Birthright Ruling Could Change Everything
— The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow parts of its birthright citizenship restrictions. This comes after legal challenges stopped President Trump’s executive order. Judges in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have put a nationwide halt on the order.
The order seeks to deny citizenship to children born after February 19 if their parents are in the U.S. illegally. It also stops U.S. agencies from recognizing these children’s citizenship through documents. Three federal appeals courts have blocked this policy so far.
About two dozen states and various groups argue that the order breaks the 14th Amendment, which promises citizenship to anyone born in America. The Justice Department argues that individual judges shouldn’t make nationwide rulings and wants limited enforcement against only those who sued.;
