PNN – The US Supreme Court has handed Donald Trump a major victory in a case related to birthright citizenship.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the US Supreme Court has handed Donald Trump a major victory by limiting the ability of judges to block the president’s policies nationwide in a case related to birthright citizenship.
Accordingly, conservative Judge Amy Barrett did not allow Trump’s order restricting birthright citizenship to take effect immediately, but instead ordered lower courts that had blocked it to reconsider the scope of their rulings. The vote also did not address the legal legitimacy of this policy, which is part of Trump’s tough approach to immigrants.
In response to the Supreme Court ruling, Donald Trump called it a huge victory and said that his administration can now advance many of its policies, such as birthright citizenship.
He added to reporters at the White House: We have many executive orders and policies in this area. We were very pleased to issue this ruling.

Trump stated that excessive use of judicial rulings limits the executive branch’s authority to implement immigration policies.
In issuing the ruling, the Supreme Court agreed with the government’s request to limit the scope of three so-called “global restraining orders” issued by federal judges in the states of Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington. The rulings had halted the implementation of Trump’s order nationwide while the judicial process of legal challenges to the policy continued.
According to the ruling, Trump’s executive order cannot be implemented sooner than 30 days after the ruling on Friday. Therefore, the decision increases the possibility that Trump’s order will be implemented in some areas of the country in the future.
On his first day back in office, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies not to recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States to parents who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (green card holders).
Previously, 22 states led by US Democrats and human rights groups filed lawsuits against Trump’s executive order revoking birthright citizenship, seeking to block the implementation of this agenda in the courts.
According to plaintiffs in birthright citizenship cases, including Democratic attorneys general from 22 states, immigrant rights advocates, and pregnant immigrant women, more than 150,000 babies each year will be denied U.S. citizenship under Trump’s executive order.
The lawsuit states that if the citizenship of these people is revoked, they will be denied access to federal programs such as health insurance in old age, legal employment, or participation in elections.
These statistics indicate the broad and potential impact of this policy on the population of newborns in the United States, especially in families where parents are not citizens or legal permanent residents.
The issuance of this ruling will not only have a significant impact on Trump’s executive orders on immigration, but it will also free up Trump’s hand in implementing other executive orders.
Currently, temporary protected status is in place for people whose countries are at risk of natural disasters, armed conflicts, and other extraordinary events, and one million people on US soil from 17 different countries are currently using this status to reside in the US.
Trump also attempted to repeal this law during his first term as president, but his request was rejected by the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court rulings in Trump’s favor
Yesterday, on the last day of its term, the US Supreme Court issued a series of rulings in favor of the US President.
Accordingly, in addition to limiting the ability of judges to block the president’s policies nationwide in a case related to birthright citizenship, the Supreme Court on Friday issued other rulings in favor of Donald Trump, particularly in the context of mass deportations of immigrants.
This series of decisions reflects the Supreme Court’s conservative and influential approach to key social, cultural, and economic issues.
The US Supreme Court has 6 conservative and 3 liberal justices, and its latest 9-month term ended yesterday.
This is the second consecutive year that the US Supreme Court has ended its term with a ruling in favor of Donald Trump. On July 1, 2024, the court ruled in Trump’s favor, declaring that presidents cannot be sued for actions they officially take while in office. This was the first time the United States Supreme Court recognized a form of immunity from criminal prosecution for presidents.
The next Supreme Court term begins in October, but the Trump administration still has several emergency requests pending that the justices could decide at any time. The government has asked the court to block a court order that has blocked widespread layoffs of federal employees and the restructuring of some agencies, and to limit the powers of the judge responsible for hearing cases of deportation of immigrants to “third countries.”
