The court's decision left enough room for the challengers to Trump's directive to try to prevent it from taking effect while litigation over its legality plays out.

In a June 27 ruling, the Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s request to partially halt nationwide injunctions blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for certain people born in the U.

Hours after the decision was released, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a nationwide class-action lawsuit challenging Trump’s order restricting birthright citizenship. More lawyers and state attorneys may soon file additional suits seeking a broad shield from other executive orders.
