• The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Justice Department's request to reinstate Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, leaving the injunction in place.
• The case is expected to escalate to the Supreme Court, as the administration seeks to challenge the legal precedent set by the 14th Amendment and United States v. Wong Kim Ark.
• The executive order has drawn widespread criticism, with legal experts and civil rights groups arguing it is unconstitutional and unlikely to succeed in court.
• Polling indicates that a majority of Americans, 63%, support maintaining birthright citizenship, while only 29% favor revising the policy.
• Trump's immigration agenda remains a focal point of his second term, with the legal battle over birthright citizenship becoming a defining issue of his presidency.
