(The Hill) — President Donald Trump and his administration took a victory lap Friday morning after the Supreme Court ruled that the president’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship could go into effect in some areas of the country, for now.
The decision will now likely curtail judges’ ability to block the president’s policies nationwide.
“GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court! Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It had to do with the babies of slaves (same year!), not the SCAMMING of our Immigration process.”
“Congratulations to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Solicitor General John Sauer, and the entire DOJ,” he added, announcing a press conference for 11:30 a.m. EDT.
The nation’s highest court ruled on its last six cases for the term, handing the administration a handful of small wins.
