Conservative majority denies federal judges the power to block executive order nationwide. President rejoices: ‘Great victory’

The US Supreme Court has given the green light to the partial implementation of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, the principle whereby anyone born on American soil automatically obtains citizenship. The ruling, approved by 6 votes to 3, represents a decisive victory for Trump, who will now be able to enforce the measure in some parts of the country, even though the merits of the case remain pending in the courts.

The Court ruled that federal judges can no longer block executive orders at the national level, but only for plaintiffs directly involved in individual cases. In other words, rulings against the order will not automatically apply to everyone, but only to those who have filed appeals. This limitation could have far-reaching implications for the judiciary’s ability to curb the powers of the executive branch.

Trump enthusiastically commented on the decision, writing on Truth Social: ‘Big win at the Supreme Court! The birthright scam has also been hit hard. It should be about the children of slaves (same year!), not the scam of our immigration process.’

The Court has not yet addressed the constitutionality of the order, which conflicts with the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to those born in the United States, regardless of their parents’ origin. But today’s ruling strengthens the president’s position, allowing him to gradually implement the measure in territories where there are no contrary court orders.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett, one of three appointed by Trump in his previous term, wrote in her opinion that federal courts ‘do not have generalised control over the executive branch,’ but only the power to resolve ‘cases and controversies’ within the limits set by Congress.

Meanwhile, legal challenges to the order will continue, but with a legal framework that now appears more favourable to the White House.
