“A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday declined the Justice Department’s request to immediately reinstate President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship, setting up a potential emergency application to the Supreme Court. Legal experts [and people who can read] have said Trump’s order conflicted with the Fourteenth Amendment, which extends American citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, by denying citizenship to future children born in the United States if their mothers were unlawfully [sic] present in the country and their fathers were not citizens or permanent residents. … In denying the request, the panel found the Justice Department had not made a ‘strong showing that they are likely to succeed on the merits of this appeal.’” (02/19/25)
