Today’s Big Story

Birthright Citizenship Ruling

The Supreme Court narrowed injunctions blocking Trump's birthright citizenship plan.

• The Court ruled 6-3 to limit nationwide injunctions that blocked Trump's executive order ending automatic citizenship for children born in the US to non-citizen parents. The ruling allows the administration to begin implementing the policy in states that didn't sue, though it remains blocked where legal challenges are pending. The decision doesn't address whether the plan violates the 14th Amendment, which currently grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States."

• Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote that courts cannot "exceed their power" with broad injunctions, requiring lower courts to move "expeditiously" to determine the appropriate scope. Liberal justices dissented, with Sonia Sotomayor calling it "a travesty for the rule of law" and warning it's an "open invitation to bypass the Constitution."

• Trump's plan would grant citizenship only to children with at least one parent who is a US citizen or permanent resident, changing over 150 years of constitutional interpretation. The policy was blocked immediately after Trump's January executive order, with every court that has ruled finding it likely unconstitutional. Twenty-one states back the administration's position.

• In a separate 6-3 ruling, the Court sided with Maryland parents seeking to opt their children out of LGBTQ-themed elementary school books, ruling that Montgomery County's refusal violated their religious exercise rights. The decision could affect how school districts nationwide handle curriculum objections based on religious beliefs.
