Trump administration seeks to restrict U.S. birthright citizenship

The Trump administration is seeking U.S. Supreme Court approval to restrict birthright citizenship. They filed emergency applications to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally, challenging previous court rulings that blocked this order. Currently, birthright citizenship grants automatic citizenship to anyone born in the U.S., including children of undocumented immigrants. The administration argues that the 14th Amendment allows for restrictions, while legal experts believe it would be difficult to change this constitutional protection. The appeal focuses on the authority of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions against the administration's orders. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on this issue, despite concerns raised by some justices about the scope of such injunctions.
