President Trump on Friday celebrated the Supreme Court ruling that allowed his executive order restricting birthright citizenship to go into effect in some areas of the country.
He called the ruling a “giant win” and announced that he will be speaking about it in a press conference at 11:30 a.m.
“GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court! Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard. It had to do with the babies of slaves (same year!), not the SCAMMING of our Immigration process. Congratulations to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Solicitor General John Sauer, and the entire DOJ. News Conference at the White House, 11:30 A.M. EST,” he said on Truth Social.
The high court’s decision found that three federal district judges went too far in issuing nationwide injunctions, allowing blocks on Trump’s birthright citizenship ban only in Democratic-run states that have filed challenges against it.
In the other states, the Trump administration may resume developing guidance to implement the order, though they must wait 30 days before attempting to deny citizenship to anyone.
The ruling though does not yet definitively resolve whether Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship are constitutional. The limits nationwide injunctions will likely have a significant impact on legal battles beyond birthright citizenship, as the Trump administration is locked in battles over injunctions against many of Trump's policies.
Attorney General Pan Bondi also took a victory lap after the ruling, celebrating what she described as the end to injunctions against Trump.
“Today, the Supreme Court instructed district courts to STOP the endless barrage of nationwide injunctions against President Trump,” Bondi said on X.
She continues, “This would not have been possible without tireless work from our excellent lawyers @TheJusticeDept and our Solicitor General John Sauer. This Department of Justice will continue to zealously defend @POTUS’s policies and his authority to implement them.”
