Supreme Court Trials Citizen Disputes on Birth Rights

Good morning, welcome to our blog covering our politics as the Supreme Court is ready to hear debates about birthright citizenship, a case that could significantly expand Donald Trump’s powers.

As part of a total crackdown on undocumented and legal immigration, Trump signed an executive order on Inauguration Day to try to end the U.S. civil rights of some people to enjoy U.S. citizenship as a U.S.-born child.

After immediately posed a legal challenge, a judge believed that the order was blocked as "blatantly unconstitutional." The appeal failed and four months later, the issue has entered an increasing number of U.S. Supreme Court as an emergency case.

But Trump’s legal team does not ask the Supreme Court to decide whether its policies are constitutional. Instead, they challenge whether lower court judges should be able to block presidential orders nationwide - a move that could generally weaken judicial inspections of executive power.

If Trump prevails, his administration can enforce the citizenship policies he needs where a particular court has not blocked it yet—making different citizenship rules in different states, while legal challenges continue.

Key Events

What is the legal basis for birthright citizenship in the United States?

Alexandra Villarreal

As a concept, Soli Juice From the common law of England, people born in England centuries ago were the subject of nature.

But in the United States, unrestricted birthright citizenship includes people of color, not just the U.S. Constitution. In 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that black descendants of enslaved people could not become American citizens. To make this injustice happen more than a decade later, the United States approved the 14th Amendment.

The first line of the 14th Amendment reads: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and bound by their jurisdiction, are American citizens and the country in which they reside." This sentence, known as the Citizenship Clause, has established a modern foundation for the right to birth citizenship, together with many relevant regulations.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the controversy in Thursday’s dispute that could significantly expand presidential power, despite ostensibly focusing on Donald Trump’s controversial executive order ending reproductive rights citizenship.

The three cases before the court stemmed from the President’s January executive order that if the parents are not citizens or permanent residents, they will deny the citizenship of babies born on U.S. soil. The plan may eventually be striked because it directly contradicts the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States.”

But Trump’s legal team does not ask the Supreme Court to decide whether its policies are constitutional. Instead, they challenge whether lower court judges should be able to block presidential orders nationwide - a move that could generally weaken judicial inspections of executive power.

Three federal judges, including U.S. District Court Judge Deborah Boardman, blocked the policy, which ruled that “no court in the country has ever endorsed the president’s explanation.”

But the Justice Department argued that these "national bans" unfairly tied the president's hands. "These bans have reached the percentage of the pandemic since the Trump administration began," the department wrote in a March filing. The administration demanded a narrowing of the ban, so they only apply to people, organizations or states prosecuted.

If Trump prevails, his administration may enforce its required citizenship policies in certain areas where a particular court has not blocked it—with different rules of citizenship in different states, while legal challenges continue.
