The Trump administration has urged the Supreme Court to lift nationwide injunctions blocking its executive order to end birthright citizenship. Lower courts have repeatedly ruled the policy unconstitutional, citing over a century of legal precedent under the 14th Amendment. Federal judges in Maryland and Massachusetts criticized the order, calling it a violation of established law. The administration argues that nationwide injunctions have hampered executive authority and seeks a ruling to limit their scope. The Supreme Court is expected to expedite the case, setting a tight briefing schedule for challengers to respond.
