The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to consider the Trump administration’s request to maintain restrictions on birthright citizenship while the lawsuit continues.
The judge delayed determining the Trump administration’s request to block a lower court order to prevent the president’s executive order from coming into effect, but they scheduled an oral debate on May 15th to consider the issue.
In its application, the Trump administration argued that district court judges cannot rule “the whole country” from the court, urging the Supreme Court to curb the ability to issue national injunctions that would stop policies from coming into effect nationwide.
“By wearing hats and allowing a single unelected federal judge to adopt the entire executive branch policy, they create unnecessary interbranch friction and commit a true judicial Lupin aggression over the President’s Article 2 authorities,” the administration argued in its submission.
The state challenging Trump’s order was filed on April 4th on Friday, writing that the government has failed to show how it will be harmed by continuing to interpret the law “as it has long been understood.”
“The government argues that while this case is underway, newborn citizenship should turn on whether parents have been appointed plaintiffs in these cases, whether they belong to one of the plaintiff organizations, or perhaps reside in one of the plaintiff nations,” the state argued. “That inviable rule leaves tens of thousands of infants born in US soils under undocumented, elimination or detention, leaving many babies, even though many have done nothing wrong.”
