The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that nationwide injunctions blocking President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship only apply to specific jurisdictions. This ruling allows the executive order to affect the rest of the country as legal challenges continue. The Supreme Court did not address the constitutionality of Trump's order, which opposes the established principle of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. Critics, including Federal Judge John Coughenour, have described the order as unconstitutional, amidst a broader strategy by the Trump administration to limit judicial checks on its executive powers.
The court's ruling means the judges' injunctions blocking Trump's order only affect the jurisdictions where various groups filed their lawsuits, impacting the rest of the country.
The court's ruling did not address the merits of the president's controversial order, which contradicts the firmly established principle of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.
Federal Judge John Coughenour described Trump's executive order as 'blatantly unconstitutional,' highlighting the ongoing legal challenges surrounding the administration's immigration policies.
The Trump administration's strategy seeks to redefine the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship, fundamentally altering a principle upheld for over 125 years.
