Segment Topics:
In early 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14160, aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. The move sparked an immediate legal backlash. In response, Washington state's attorney general and three other states, sued the Trump administration, challenging the executive action.
At least four federal judges issued preliminary injunctions, putting the order on hold as the legal challenges advanced. But the Supreme Court isn't weighing the constitutionality of birthright citizenship—at least not yet. Instead, the justices will consider whether federal judges have the power to issue nationwide injunctions: temporary orders that block a policy from taking effect across the entire country, even beyond the parties involved in the case.
