In a move that is already sending shockwaves through legal and political circles, U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship is now officially moving forward.
A Supreme Court ruling issued on June 27 has cleared the way for the controversial policy to begin implementation within 30 days. While the ruling does not directly address the constitutionality of Trump’s executive order, it effectively blocks lower federal courts from issuing nationwide injunctions. As a result, the policy can now take effect in the 28 states that did not join the ongoing lawsuit challenging the executive action.
Legal Landscape and Reactions
Most constitutional scholars agree: A president cannot rewrite the 14th Amendment by executive order.
Yet the June 27 ruling led by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, limited the power of federal judges to block presidential actions on a national scale, making it harder for opponents to stop the policy before a final Supreme Court decision.
In short: The fight isn’t over but the policy is moving ahead, at least for now.
What Comes Next?
- Effective Date:The order will begin to apply in 30 days (late July), but only in the 28 states that did not join the legal challenge.
- Pending Supreme Court Review:The constitutionality of the order will be decided in the coming months.
- Potential Impact:If upheld, it could reshape immigration policy and citizenship rights across the country.
