Trump Admin Asks Supreme Court to Unblock Birthright Citizenship Order

The Epoch Times Header

Three preliminary injunctions have been issued on Trumpโ€™s birthright citizenship restrictions.

WASHINGTONโ€”The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to intervene and at least partially roll back multiple preliminary injunctions courts have issued against his executive order to restrict birthright citizenship.

In a brief filed on March 13, Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris told Chief Justice John Roberts that courts had gone too far in issuing nationwide injunctions. The Supreme Court, she said, should limit two of the injunctionsโ€”from Washington state and Marylandโ€”to the orderโ€™s effect on particular plaintiffs. Another from Massachusetts should be stayed in full, she said.

Harris also asked the court to stay the injunctions in a way that would allow executive agencies to develop and issue guidance explaining how they would implement Trumpโ€™s executive order on birthright citizenship.

The birthright citizenship lawsuits are among the more than 90 lodged against the administration, as well as among the many to result in court orders that blocked the administrationโ€™s actions. In many of these lawsuits, the administration has argued that the plaintiffs lacked standing or were requesting injunctions with relief that was too broad in its scope.

Harrisโ€™s brief took aim at the practice of issuing nationwide injunctions and suggested the Supreme Court should intervene to stop purported abuses among lower courts.

โ€œThis court should declare that enough is enough before district courtsโ€™ burgeoning reliance on universal injunctions becomes further entrenched,โ€ her brief reads. She added that โ€œonly this courtโ€™s intervention can prevent universal injunctions from becoming universally acceptable.โ€
