The administration of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has presented a series of emergency appeals before the Supreme Court, urging the judges to allow him to proceed with the plans to end the citizenship of birth law.
The appeals, filed on Thursday, argued that the lower courts exceeded by issuing cautious throughout the country that blocked the implementation of contentious policy.
According to CNN, the Administration asked the Supreme Court to reduce the scope of such orders, which have prevented the application of Trump's executive order signed on the first day of its second term.
The Courts of Appeals have previously rejected the requests of the Trump administration to stop the decisions that imposed prohibitions at the national level in the Executive Directive.
“Universal mandates have reached epidemic proportions since the beginning of the current administration,” the Department of Justice told the Supreme Court in their emergency appeals.
“These universal mandates prohibit that an executive order on day 1 be applied anywhere in the country, in terms of 'hundreds of thousands' of non -specified persons who are not before court or identified by the Court'.”

For more than a century, the judicial interpretation of the amendment 14 has affirmed citizens for any person “born or naturalized in the United States”, regardless of their parents' immigration state. This legal understanding was cemented in a ruling of the Supreme Court of 1898, and the current court has not given indications of plans to review the precedent.
However, some conservative academics have challenged the vision of long data, arguing that the language of the 14th amendment restricts citizens to people “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States.
According to this theory, people in the country are illegally under the jurisdiction of their countries of origin.
