Supreme Court Limits Nationwide Injunctions in Birthright Citizenship Case

The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling in Trump v. CASA that directly limits judges from blocking Trump's birthright citizenship executive order on a nationwide basis. The ruling allowed the administration's order restricting birthright citizenship to take partial effect while only protecting the specific plaintiffs who sued. The decision marked the first practical constraint on birthright citizenship in over a century and accompanied the broader anti-nationwide-injunction ruling.
