SCOTUS Gives Trump Admin a Win: Says Lower Court Exceeded Authority Blocking Birthright Citizenship Order

The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration in its requests to partially enforce its birthright citizenship order.

In a 6-3 ruling, the majority found that lower courts exceeded their authority by issuing a nationwide block on President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions.

The Trump administration appealed three lower court orders blocking the birthright citizenship ban from taking effect in April, asking the Supreme Court to limit the ability of district court judges to block policies nationwide through universal injunctions.

Trump issued his “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship” executive order, which ends guaranteed citizenship for children of illegal aliens or migrants on temporary visas, in January during his first day in office.

During oral arguments in May, Solicitor General John Saur noted judges have issued 40 universal injunctions issued against the administration since Trump took office.
