The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to stop appeals court rulings that blocked Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship, which would deny U.S. citizenship to children born in the U.S. if their parents are undocumented or on temporary visas.

High court asked to limit nationwide injunctions that blocked the president’s bid to restrict who is entitled to citizenship.

The president is appealing to the justices to help facilitate his birthright citizenship plan, signed by executive order but immediately blocked by lower courts.
