Trump Appeals to Supreme Court to Implement Birthright Citizenship Restrictions

The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow partial implementation of its executive order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship. On March 13, 2025, the administration requested intervention after lower courts, including the First, Fourth, and Ninth Circuits, declined to lift nationwide injunctions blocking the policy. The executive order aims to deny automatic citizenship to individuals born in the United States after February 19, 2025, whose parents are in the country illegally or are foreign visitors. This represents a significant shift from the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to all persons born on U.S. soil. Department of Justice attorneys argue that the 14th Amendment has been misapplied and that the executive order is within the president's authority to clarify citizenship policies. The administration contends that the amendment does not guarantee citizenship to everyone born in the country. Opponents have filed multiple lawsuits challenging the executive order, asserting that it is unconstitutional and violates longstanding legal precedent. Federal judges have issued nationwide injunctions, with some describing the policy as 'blatantly unconstitutional.' By appealing to the Supreme Court, the administration seeks to narrow the scope of the injunctions, allowing the executive order to take effect at least partially while legal proceedings continue.
