On Saturday, June 28, the US Supreme Court ruled that district court judges cannot order nationwide injunctions against President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order, which would effectively end it.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had allowed the Trump administration to restart swift removals of migrants to countries other than their homelands, lifting a court order that gave them a chance to challenge the deportations.
