Supreme Court allows Trump's birthright citizenship plan to proceed in some states
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration's proposal to limit automatic birthright citizenship. The decision allows the plan to move forward in states that challenged it, while remaining blocked in New Hampshire. The court's decision focused on the scope of nationwide injunctions and did not address the legal merits of the plan.
The Supreme Court granted a request by the Trump administration to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions, allowing it to proceed with its proposal to end automatic birthright citizenship. The court's 6-3 vote divided along ideological lines, with conservatives in the majority and liberals in dissent. The decision means the proposal can move forward in states that challenged it. However, it remains blocked in New Hampshire due to a separate lawsuit. The court did not address the legal merits of the plan, only the authority of judges to halt it nationwide.
President Trump's executive order, issued in January, aimed to redefine birthright citizenship. The administration has faced legal challenges, with every court ruling against the proposal so far. The decision has sparked debate over the use of nationwide injunctions and the interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
