The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on three preliminary injunctions issued by federal district judges in Seattle, Maryland and Massachusetts, which bar the government from implementing the president’s executive order ending birthright citizenship in certain situations. The court is giving the other side until April 4 to respond, according to SCOTUSblog. The executive order made it official government policy that children born to mothers not legally in the country or here temporarily, and whose fathers are not citizens or lawful permanent residents at the time of the birth, would not automatically become citizens of the country.
