Supreme Court Ruling Clears Path for Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order on July 27

Opponents are pursuing class-action suits in multiple districts alongside Justice Department preparations to release enforcement guidance.

Overview

  • The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision limited lower courts to case-specific injunctions, overturning the nationwide blocks on the executive order.
  • Justice Department lawyers informed Judge Deborah Boardman they will begin enforcing the order no earlier than July 27, in accordance with the Court’s 30-day stay.
  • The administration is drafting public guidance to implement the citizenship policy once the stay expires.
  • Advocacy groups including the ACLU and CASA have amended or filed new lawsuits as class actions to seek broader relief.
  • The core constitutional question under the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause remains unresolved and is slated for future Supreme Court review.
