The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in May on the Justice Department's emergency request to narrow a string of district court orders blocking President Donald Trump's executive order that would restrict birthright citizenship from taking effect.

While the Trump administration has not yet asked the high court to rule on the constitutionality of the president's order, it has requested that the justices address the use of universal injunctions, which go far beyond the parties involved in a case to apply to anyone who could be affected.

The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to allow it to enforce an executive order signed by President Donald Trump ending birthright citizenship – the guarantee of citizenship to virtually anyone born in the United States. In a trio of near-identical filings by Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris, the administration urged the justices to partially block preliminary injunctions, issued by federal district judges in Seattle, Maryland, and Massachusetts, that bar the government from implementing Trump’s executive order anywhere in the country.

 expected the reaction to a recent op-ed I published calling for the end of birthright citizenship to be cantankerous. I even expected it to be hysterical—from the Left. I did not expect self-described “conservatives” to be just as hysterical as the Left, and to use precisely the same terms. “Nativist.” “Xenophobe.” “Bigot.” “Racist.” “White nationalist.” “White supremacist.”

No matter what a federal judge rules, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Newsmax on Thursday he is opposed to birthright citizenship.

"I think birthright citizenship is ridiculous. We're one of the few nations that allow it," Johnson said on "Rob Schmitt Tonight."

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship regardless of the parents' immigration status.

If all of President Donald Trump’s Day 1 executive orders on immigration and deportation go through, he will have succeeded in a radical overhaul of US law. That, however, is a mighty “if.”

On Monday, his first day back in office, President Donald Trump issued a wave of executive orders.

Some are ridiculous, such as an order purporting to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” Others are ominous, such as an order seeking to drastically increase the number of federal civil servants who can be fired at will. Many of the orders seek to implement the kind of harsh immigration policies that have always been at the heart of Trump’s political message.

The claim: JD Vance’s wife ‘will have her citizenship revoked’ under Trump immigration plan

A Jan. 20 Threads post (direct link, archive link) claims President Donald Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship would cause a significant problem for Second Lady Usha Vance.

“BREAKING - Vice President JD Vance's wife will have her citizenship revoked if Trump signs his executive order banning birthright citizenship,” text of the post states. “Neither of her parents were US citizens at the time of her birth.”

As part of a sweeping crackdown on both undocumented and legal immigrants, Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday trying to end the right to citizenship for some children born in the United States.

In a country where birthright citizenship regardless of lineage is a deeply held value, the president’s attempt to cut off that right for future generations could create a permanent underclass, through policy change that would specifically target communities of color.

President-elect Trump, Democratic lawmakers and the Supreme Court are on a collision course over restricting birthright citizenship, which Trump has identified as a top priority for his incoming administration.

Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill say the 14th Amendment’s language, which grants all people born in the United States citizenship, is being exploited in a way the amendment’s framers never anticipated.
