SCOTUS Ruling on Injunctions Complicates Birthright Citizenship

Last week's SCOTUS ruling narrowing lower courts' ability to order nationwide injunctions left unsettled the underlying question about the legality of the president's executive order meant to end birthright citizenship. SCOTUS gave opponents of the executive order 30 days to get legal arguments and cases underway. Meanwhile, 28 U.S. states didn't challenge the order, and those may allow the order to go into effect once the 30 day period passes, potentially ending birthright citizenship in those states.
