The Trump administration has requested the Supreme Court to lift a nationwide injunction that temporarily pauses the enforcement of its order to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants. This legal challenge marks the first appearance of the issue before the Supreme Court after federal court actions in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Washington State halted the policy. The administration argues that such injunctions should not be applied universally and have become overly common in recent years. Solicitor General Sarah M. Harris emphasized the modest nature of their request, seeking clarity on who should be affected by such injunctions.
"The Trump administration's emergency applications are aimed at pushing back on nationwide injunctions, judicial orders that can block a policy... throughout the entire country."
"In her applications to the court, Sarah M. Harris described the government's request as modest, aiming to limit the pause to parties actually within the courts' power."
