🚨🇺🇸 SCOTUS LEAVES TRUMP’S BIRTHRIGHT PLAN IN LIMBO - BUT HANDS HIM A WIN... FOR NOW
SCOTUS punted on deciding if Trump can deny citizenship to kids born in the U.S. to undocumented parents, leaving birthright citizenship technically untouched - at least for now.
The injunctions stay in place only where truly necessary, and the justices said executive agencies can start prepping public guidance for Trump’s order - but Section 2 of the order stays on ice for 30 days.
For 157 years, the 14th Amendment has meant anyone born here - kids of citizens, legal immigrants, or folks without papers - gets citizenship, automatically.
The ruling means birthright citizenship hangs in legal limbo, and it’s possible future courts could still slam the door on the 14th Amendment’s promise.
Up next: SCOTUS will rule on Texas’ online age-check law, Education Department layoffs, and some DOGE-fueled job cuts.

🚨🇺🇸 SCOTUS SIDESTEPS BIG DECISION ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP - FOR NOW
SCOTUS just tossed the Trump birthright citizenship fight back to lower courts, lifting blocks on his executive order but refusing to say if kicking babies off the citizen list is actually constitutional.
For 157 years, the 14th Amendment has meant anyone born here - kids of citizens, legal immigrants, or folks without papers - gets a blue passport and a “Made in USA” label, no questions asked.
Experts warn scrapping birthright citizenship could leave 255,000 babies stateless every year and grow the undocumented population by up to 5.4 million by 2075.
Meanwhile, 4.4 million U.S.-born kids already live with an unauthorized immigrant parent, so this fight isn’t just about dusty constitutional clauses - it’s about real families caught in a legal tug-of-war.
