SCOTUS limits nationwide injunctions, Trump's birthright citizenship order fate uncertain

The Supreme Court has ruled that individual judges cannot issue nationwide injunctions, which impacts President Trump's attempts to limit birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants.

The decision is seen as a victory for Trump, who has faced legal challenges from various states against his directive. However, the court left the future of Trump's birthright citizenship policy uncertain, as changes could still face national opposition.

SCOTUS' restrictions on nationwide blocks to Trump’s Executive Orders allows his orders, specifically Birthright Citizenship, to proceed in some areas. The order seeks to deny U.S. citizenship to children born in the U.S. to illegal or temporary visa-holding parents.

The principle of birthright citizenship, established in the 14th Amendment, grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Historically, there have been few exceptions, primarily concerning children of diplomats and certain foreign entities.
