Trump signed the executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship on his first day in office. Trump’s attempt to roll back a century of established law has sparked significant pushback in the nation’s lower courts. The president asked the Supreme Court in March not to decide the merits of his order on birthright explicitly, but rather, to vastly restrict how nationwide injunctions from the district courts are issued. As HuffPost reported, Trump’s order declared that any child born in the U.S. to an undocumented person 30 days from Jan. 20, 2025, would not be considered an American citizen. Arguments will be held next year, though the order from the Supreme Court on Friday did not specify a date.
