  • The Supreme Court on Thursday seemed open to lifting a series of nationwide orders blocking President Donald Trump from enforcing his birthright citizenship policy even as several of the justices wrestled with the practical implications of allowing the government to deny citizenship to people born in the US.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on two significant cases: one concerning birthright citizenship and the other on the use of nationwide injunctions. In the birthright citizenship case, the court considered whether children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants are automatically entitled to citizenship under the 14th Amendment. The justices appeared skeptical of the government's argument that such children should not be granted citizenship, with several questioning the implications of overturning long-standing precedent. In the second case, the court debated the propriety of nationwide injunctions, which are court orders that apply across the entire country. The justices expressed concerns about the broad impact of these injunctions, with some suggesting that they might be overused and could disrupt the balance of power between the branches of government. The outcomes of these cases could have far-reaching effects on immigration policy and judicial practice.
