The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing Donald Trump's executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship. This controversial move could significantly alter the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which has traditionally guaranteed citizenship to nearly all born in the U.S. The administration's request seeks to restrict federal judges' power to issue universal injunctions, arguing such decisions overstep judicial authority. Twenty-two states, along with immigrant rights groups and individual plaintiffs, have challenged the order, emphasizing its potential implications for the citizenship of U.S.-born children. This case is set against a backdrop of a conservative court that includes justices appointed by Trump.
Trump's executive order aiming to limit birthright citizenship is under scrutiny by the U.S. Supreme Court, as it challenges longstanding interpretations of the 14th Amendment.
The case raises the issue of whether federal judges can issue nationwide injunctions, as the Trump administration argues for a narrower ruling to enforce his policy.
Democratic attorneys general from 22 states and immigrant rights advocates have challenged Trump's directive, claiming it poses significant risks to birthright citizenship.
With a 6-3 conservative majority, the Supreme Court will hear arguments that may redefine who is entitled to citizenship based on birth in the U.S.
