laist.com (2025-06-27). U.S. Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions, but leaves fate of birthright citizenship unclear There is considerable confusion in the MSM (some of it intentional) regarding the Supreme Court ruling today on Birthright citizenship. The law itself was NOT overturned or altered. All parties still have to abide by the fact that the Fourteenth Amendment still protects citizenship for pratically all children born in the U.S. The ruling, for now, just provides some limited procedural guidance for state and district judges. The Trump administration is still NOT allowed to implement their desired racist-tinged policy of deporting child citizens.A divided Supreme Court ruled that individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions, but the decision left unclear the fate of President Donald Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship.
