Trump Appeals to Supreme Court Over Birthright Citizenship Ban

The administration seeks to enforce an executive order ending automatic citizenship for children of undocumented or temporary residents, citing constitutional questions over nationwide injunctions.

President Trump has asked the Supreme Court to allow enforcement of his executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented or temporary residents.
Lower courts in Washington, Maryland, and Massachusetts have blocked the executive order, citing its unconstitutionality under the 14th Amendment.
The administration argues that nationwide injunctions issued by federal judges overstep judicial authority and hinder executive functions.
Legal experts and historical precedent strongly support birthright citizenship, with the 14th Amendment explicitly guaranteeing it since 1868.
The Supreme Court's decision could have significant implications for immigration policy and the balance of power between the judiciary and executive branches.
