US EditionTrump asks Supreme Court to hear bid to restrict birthright citizenship
- On Friday, the Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court to determine whether President Trump's executive order aimed at ending automatic birthright citizenship in the United States is constitutional.
- This request follows multiple lower court rulings that declared the order likely unconstitutional and imposed injunctions blocking its enforcement nationwide.
- The executive order aims to eliminate birthright citizenship for individuals born in the U.S. to parents who are unlawfully present or residing temporarily, seeking to alter the traditional understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment’s citizenship provision.
- Solicitor General D. John Sauer described the century-old interpretation of birthright citizenship as a "mistaken view" that has become "pervasive, with destructive consequences," and called the policy invalidation a threat to border security.
- The Supreme Court is likely to take up the case during its 2025-26 term starting in October, which could have broad implications for U.S. immigration and citizenship laws.
