Written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the ruling stated that federal judges exceeded their authority by blocking Trump’s executive order attempting to redefine who gets to be a citizen. Liberal justices, including Ketanji Brown Jackson, strongly dissented, warning the decision put the legal system and government in “grave jeopardy”. Critics argue the ruling could lead to a patchwork system of constitutional rights and citizenship benefits, potentially denying citizenship to over 150,000 newborns annually under Trump’s order. The administration sought to curb nationwide injunctions, which have significantly impeded its executive actions.In fullSupreme Court gives Trump more power after ‘birthright citizenship’ ruling curbs nationwide injunctionsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
