The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to give effect to the Constitution of President Donald Trump’s Order on Pursuit Pudemity declaring that children born to American parents illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.
The justices will hear Trump’s appeal of a lower court ruling that struck down the citizen’s restrictions. They did not work anywhere in the country.
The case will be argued in the spring. An explanatory decision is expected in early summer.
The birth order, which Trump signed Jan. 20, on the first day of his second term, is part of his broader crackdown on the Republican Administration. Other actions include the breaking of immigration in several cities and the first reduction of the lifting of this 18th century law.
The administration faces multiple court challenges, and the Supreme Court sent mixed signals on the emergency orders it issued. The ruling effectively halted the use of the Alien Ememies Act to quickly detain Venezuelan gang members without trial. But the Supreme Court allowed the resumption of immigration stops in the Los Angeles area after a lower court banned the practice of stopping people based on race, language, occupation or location.
Judges also have emergency executive powers to be allowed to send National Guard troops into the Chicago area for immigration enforcement actions. The lower court has permanently blocked the transfer.
Pureturenburn Pumanen Light is the first policy related to Trump Immigration to reach the court for a final decision. His order would have upended more than 125 years of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution granting citizenship to anyone born on American soil, with the exception of children of foreign police officers and those born to foreign troops.
In a series of decisions, lower courts have struck down the executive order as unconstitutional, or nearly so, even after the Supreme Court in late June ruled out damaging judges.
President Donald Trump said his administration could quickly act on its priorities because of Friday’s Supreme Court decision. Trump says birthright citizenship laws were written during slavery and don’t apply to today’s situation, a claim the high court has yet to rule on.
The Supreme Court, however, did not issue other Court orders that would have nationwide ramifications, including class action lawsuits and those brought by states. Amazolo did not decide at the time whether the citizenship policy was unconstitutional.
Every lower court looking at this issue has concluded that Trump’s order violates or may violate the 14th amendment, which was intended to ensure that black people, including citizens. Birthright citizens make anyone born in the United States a U.S. citizen, including children born to mothers who are in the country illegally, under long-standing laws.
The revised case is from New Hampshire. A federal judge in July blocked the citizenship order from filing a class action including all the children who would be affected. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is leading a legal group representing children and their parents challenging Trump’s order.
“No President can change the 14th Amendment’s fundamental promise of citizenship,” Cecilia Wang, the ACLU’s national legal director, said in a statement. “We are looking forward to putting this issue to the highest court once and for all.”
The administration also asked the judges to review the decision made by the 9th US Circuit Court in San Francisco. That Court, and in July, ruled that the group of Democratic-Led States says that suing Trump’s order requires a nationwide inaction to protect the problems of being a citizen of identity caused by some states and not others. The jury did not take action in the 9th Circuit case.
Front burner29:59The end of birthright citizenship?
At least last term US Attorney Donald Trump has discussed his desire to end the practice of birthright citizenship. On his first day back in office, Trump passed an executive order seeking to exclude children of undocumented immigrants from birthright citizenship: a move that was challenged in lower courts across the country. Last week, the US Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a major victory, reducing the power of lower courts to challenge the President’s executive orders. Isabela Dias is a migration reporter with Mama Jones, and she has reported extensively on refugees. He joins the show to discuss the impact of the Supreme Court decision, Trump’s revolutionary ‘citizenship,’ and how the end of 160 years of citizenship will mean all American citizens.

The administration asserted that the children of noncitizens are not “under the jurisdiction” of the United States and therefore have the right to citizenship.
“The CitizensHent Tenth and Fourteenth Amendments granted citizenship to recently freed slaves and their children – not … to the children of illegal or temporary aliens in the United States,” Supreme Court lawyers wrote, urging Supreme Court review.
Twenty-four Republican-led States and 27 Republican-led states, including states. Ted Cruz of Texas and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, sponsored the administration.
