Supreme Court Wary of Letting Trump Citizenship Curbs Start
The US Supreme Court signaled it is wary of letting President Donald Trump start to restrict birthright citizenship as the justices debated how much power federal judges should have to block controversial White House policies nationwide.
Hearing oral arguments for the first time on part of Trump’s government overhaul, the court’s conservatives suggested they want to limit the use of so-called nationwide injunctions. But key justices voiced concern about doing so in a way that would let Trump’s planned birthright citizenship restrictions take effect before the high court can rule on their legality.
