Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 61638, member: 636"] The Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court to review an executive order targeting birthright citizenship rules. The January directive blocks automatic citizenship for children born on American soil unless one parent holds citizenship or legal residency status. Multiple federal judges halted the policy after finding it violated 14th Amendment protections. Legal teams argue lower courts exceeded their authority with nationwide blocking orders. The Supreme Court previously addressed related matters in Trump v. CASA, Inc. during June proceedings. Justices ruled federal courts cannot issue broad nationwide injunctions against presidential policies without clear justification. The constitutional question about the order's legality remains unresolved from that earlier decision. A favorable Supreme Court ruling could reshape citizenship laws established more than 150 years ago. [/QUOTE]
