Supreme Court could block Trump’s birthright citizenship order but limit nationwide injunctions
- The Supreme Court heard emergency appeals on May 15, 2025, regarding lower court orders blocking President Trump's birthright citizenship restrictions nationwide.
- The appeals follow Trump's executive order on January 20, 2025, aimed at denying citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented or temporary residents, which triggered immediate lawsuits from 22 states and rights groups.
- Several justices expressed concern about the order conflicting with a settled 125-year precedent established by an 1898 Supreme Court ruling interpreting the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause.
- Solicitor General D. John Sauer reported that courts have granted 40 nationwide injunctions since January, while Justice Elena Kagan remarked that birthright citizenship presents a unique situation that complicates efforts to limit the scope of such injunctions.
- The court appeared poised to maintain blocks on the citizenship restrictions but also sought ways to limit nationwide injunctions, with a final decision expected by the end of June 2025.
