Trump Administration Appeals to Supreme Court Over Birthright Citizenship Rulings

The administration seeks to limit nationwide injunctions blocking an executive order restricting citizenship for children of certain immigrants.

President Donald Trump's executive order aims to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented or temporary-status parents.
Federal district courts in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have issued nationwide injunctions preventing the order's enforcement.
The administration argues these universal injunctions exceed judicial authority and hinder the executive branch's constitutional functions.
The Supreme Court filing does not directly address the constitutionality of the executive order but focuses on limiting the scope of the injunctions.
Legal experts and judges have criticized the order as unconstitutional, citing longstanding 14th Amendment protections for birthright citizenship.
