- The U.S. Supreme Court deliberated on Donald Trump's efforts to restrict birthright citizenship for children of certain immigrants.
- Three judges issued nationwide injunctions blocking Trump's directive, which could deny citizenship to over 150,000 newborns annually.
- Conservative justices considered limiting lower courts' power to issue universal injunctions, while some liberal justices questioned the constitutionality of Trump's order.
- The court may decide whether to address the lawsuit based on the legal merits of Trump's directive, potentially delaying the resolution of its constitutionality.
"This order reflects the original meaning of the 14th Amendment, which guaranteed citizenship to the children of former slaves, not illegal aliens or temporary visitors."— D. John Sauer, the U.S. Solicitor General, spoke to the Supreme Court about Trump's directive.
