Supreme Court meets to weigh Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions, blocked by lower courts

The administration argues the order protects border security by restricting citizenship for children of noncitizens; all lower courts have struck it down as violating the 14th Amendment.

  • On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court met privately to consider the birthright citizenship order, which would declare children born to parents in the United States illegally or temporarily are not citizens.
  • President Donald Trump signed the birthright citizenship order on his first day back, with the administration asserting children of noncitizens are not `subject to the jurisdiction` and appealing two cases.
  • Lower federal courts have issued injunctions that blocked the order nationwide and in a class-action including all affected children, preventing it from taking effect anywhere in the United States.
  • The Supreme Court could say as soon as Monday whether to hear Trump's appeal of lower court rulings that have uniformly struck down the citizenship restrictions, with a decision potentially upending over 125 years of 14th Amendment interpretation.
  • The high court has sent mixed signals on emergency orders, stopping fast use of the Alien Enemies Act while allowing Los Angeles immigration stops to resume, and weighing the National Guard deployment in the Chicago area appeal.
