Supreme Court could block Trump’s birthright citizenship order but limit nationwide injunctions

  • The Supreme Court heard emergency arguments on May 16, 2025, regarding the Trump administration's order limiting birthright citizenship across the United States.
  • On the first day of his second term, Trump issued an executive order attempting to block automatic citizenship for individuals born in the U.S. To parents who are residing in the country without legal authorization or on a temporary basis, challenging well-established legal rulings.
  • Lower courts quickly issued nationwide injunctions blocking the order, with 22 states suing and arguing the changes would disrupt more than 125 years of settled birthright citizenship law based on the 14th Amendment.
  • Justice Sonia Sotomayor highlighted that all lower courts have ruled against the government and cautioned that limiting the injunctions could lead to inconsistent citizenship rules across the country, potentially resulting in situations where children living near borders like the Delaware River might be granted citizenship on one side but denied it on the other.
  • The Court appeared intent on maintaining the block on the order while exploring ways to limit nationwide injunctions, with a final decision expected by the end of June 2025.
