US EditionAdam Zyglis: Birthright Citizenship
UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – The Supreme Court ruling restricts federal judges' power to issue nationwide injunctions, allowing states to enforce birthright citizenship limits differently and prompting new class-action lawsuits.
- The Supreme Court in Trump v. CASA limited federal courts' power to issue 'universal' injunctions, a procedural ruling that prompted civil rights groups to file class-action lawsuits within hours.
- President Trump's executive order reinterprets the 14th Amendment to deny citizenship to children of unauthorized immigrants and visitors, targeting a vulnerable group.
- Studies estimate over 150,000 newborns annually face risks of statelessness if the order takes effect; Justice Sotomayor warned children could become stateless for the first time in modern history.
- Within hours of the Supreme Court ruling, multiple civil rights groups filed class-action lawsuits to block the order, which could take effect in 30 days in some states if relief is not granted.
- Since the Supreme Court's June 27 ruling, the government has indicated July 27, 2025, as the earliest enforcement date, with new parents needing to comply within 30 days, creating urgent deadlines for pregnant families.
