This is devastating not only for immigrant families but also for the integrity of the judiciary & the values this country was founded upon. Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional & we stand with these brave plaintiffs fighting to protect their families & the rights of all.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · Jun 27

BREAKING: The Supreme Court limited judges' power on nationwide injunctions, leaving the fate of Trump's birthright citizenship order unclear.

Live updates: Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions, but fate of Trump birthright citizenship order unclear

The Supreme Court will issue decisions on birthright citizenship, age verification laws, DOGE cuts and other emergency appeals related to President Donald Trump’s agenda.
