President Trump asked the Supreme Court to limit for now the scope of three lower court orders that blocked enforcement of his executive order wanting to end birthright citizenship. The order denies U.S citizenship to children born to mothers who are in the country illegally or temporarily on visas, and fathers who are not citizens either.The Trump administration asked the court for an emergency relief in three separate requests.Trump’s executive action brought legal challenges, as well as the cases brought to the Court.This brought in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington.The challengers all argue that Trump’s actions violate the 14th amendment. In all of these disputes, the U.S district court judges blocked nationwide enforcement of Trump’s order, which was issued on his first day in office. According to Solicitor General Sarah Harris,“These cases — which involve challenges to the president’s January 20, 2025 Executive Order concerning birthright citizenship — raise important constitutional questions with major ramifications for securing the border,” she wrote in the requests. “But at this stage, the government comes to this court with a ‘modest’ request: while the parties litigate weighty merits questions, the court should ‘restrict the scope’ of multiple preliminary injunctions that ‘purpor[t] to cover every person in the country,’ limiting those injunctions to parties actually within the courts’ power.”
