Supreme Court Limits Broad Blocks on Birthright Order

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that federal judges lack authority to issue nationwide injunctions, complicating efforts to block President Trump's executive order targeting birthright citizenship. The ruling sends the case back to lower courts, leaving the constitutionality of birthright citizenship unresolved and creating legal uncertainty for affected families. New York and North Carolina's Attorneys General reaffirmed their commitment to defending the Fourteenth Amendment, with Letitia James and Jeff Jackson emphasizing continued legal opposition. New Mexico's Attorney General assured residents the decision would not affect their communities and expressed confidence that the executive order will ultimately be struck down. President Trump praised the ruling as a win for the Constitution and separation of powers, as it limits broad injunctions against his policies. The Supreme Court allowed for the possibility that changes to birthright citizenship could still be blocked regionally as court battles proceed.
