The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments regarding the Trump administration’s challenge to lower court orders that block the president’s executive order on birthright citizenship, which aims to deny citizenship to children born to undocumented parents. The administration argues that district court judges overstepped their authority by issuing nationwide injunctions, and a ruling in their favor could enable partial enforcement of the policy while legal disputes continue. This case reflects broader concerns over the increasing prevalence of universal injunctions, which have allowed individual judges to halt national policies, prompting calls for the Court to clarify their legality.
