US EditionDOJ Presses Federal Appeals Court to Reverse Ruling Blocking Trump’s Effort to End Birthright Citizenship
- The Trump administration is appealing to a federal appeals court in 2025 to overturn injunctions blocking its January executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented or temporary visa parents.
- The order, challenged by multiple states and blocked by federal courts nationwide, conflicts with the 14th Amendment’s long-standing citizenship guarantee, prompting legal debate over jurisdiction and constitutional interpretation.
- The 9th Circuit panel recently heard arguments from attorneys including Eric McArthur, who asserted that citizenship requires full jurisdiction tied to domicile, while challengers argued the order overturns over a century of precedent.
- Washington Attorney General Nick Brown stated that the arguments presented would effectively reverse more than one hundred years of established legal rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court, and he expressed strong optimism that the court would decide in their favor.
- The Supreme Court is expected to clarify the scope of district court injunctions nationwide before June’s end, with its ruling likely impacting the broader constitutional questions of birthright citizenship and judicial authority.
