"Shortly after taking office, Trump signed an executive order detailing that children born in the U.S. would no longer automatically receive citizenship if neither parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident a major reinterpretation of the subject to the jurisdiction thereof clause of the 14th Amendment. Soon after, multiple lawsuits were filed in federal courts across the country challenging the order."
"Several federal judges issued preliminary injunctions blocking its enforcement, citing constitutional concerns under the 14th Amendment. One of the lead challengers was CASA de Maryland, a major immigrant-rights organization that has repeatedly battled Trump policies in court, including over protections for DACA and TPS recipients. CASA argued that the executive order runs directly counter to more than a century of precedent affirming the 14th Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship."
"In late June, the Supreme Court ruled 63 in Trump v. CASA (consolidated with related cases) that lower courts cannot issue universal injunctions preventing the federal government broadly from enforcing the order while litigation proceeds. Instead, such injunctions must be tailored to the parties in each case. While that decision didn't directly address whether Trump's citizenship policy is constitutional, it was a procedural victory for the administration."
President Donald Trump’s administration appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve the constitutionality of an executive order that would end automatic birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children when neither parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. The order reinterprets the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause of the 14th Amendment. Multiple federal lawsuits challenged the order and several judges issued preliminary injunctions blocking enforcement on constitutional grounds. CASA de Maryland led challenges, arguing the order contradicts century-long precedent. In late June, the Supreme Court limited universal injunctions but did not rule on constitutional merits, giving a procedural win to the administration.
