Washington, Mar 14: The Trump administration has filed emergency appeals to the Supreme Court seeking to implement Executive Order 14160, which aims to end birth right citizenship for certain children born in the United States.

Signed on January 20, 2025, the executive order challenges the traditional interpretation of the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause by denying citizenship to children born to parents without legal residency or those in temporary status.

Federal courts in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington state have issued nationwide injunctions blocking the order's enforcement, prompting the administration's appeal to the Supreme Court.

The administration argues that the 14th Amendment does not grant citizenship to children born to parents lacking permanent residency and seeks to limit the scope of nationwide injunctions issued by lower courts.

Legal experts note that altering the 14th Amendment's protections would be highly challenging, as birth right citizenship has been a long-standing interpretation of the Amendment.

The Supreme Court's decision on this matter could have significant implications for immigration policy and the interpretation of constitutional rights in the United States.
