• Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed petitions asking the justices to rule on the constitutionality of Trump’s directive narrowing birthright citizenship.
• The Justice Department seeks review of a Ninth Circuit panel decision and a New Hampshire class injunction that found the order invalid under the Fourteenth Amendment.
• Filings reviewed by news outlets say the government urges expedited consideration with a decision by next summer, while SCOTUSblog reports no formal fast-track request.
• The administration says it will not begin enforcing the order while Supreme Court review is pending, and the petitions had not yet appeared on the Court’s public docket.
