Trump asks the Supreme Court to support its limits to the citizenship of the right of birth and to reverse the way in which the 14th amendment has been interpreted for 125 years

The appeal, shared with the Associated Press on Saturday, sparked a high court process which could lead to a final decision of the judges at the beginning of the summer to find out if the restrictions of citizenship are constitutional.

The judges of the soil of land have so far prevenoned to take effect anywhere. The republican administration does not ask the court to let the restrictions enter into force before it regulates.

The petition of the Ministry of Justice was shared with lawyers for the parties contesting the order, but has not yet been placed at the Supreme Court.

Any decision on the opportunity to take the case is probably in months and the arguments would probably not take place before the end of winter or the beginning of spring.

“The decisions of the lower court have invalidated a policy of primordial importance for the president and his administration in a manner that undermines our border security,” wrote General D. John Sauer. “These decisions, without legal justification,, the privilege of American citizenship over hundreds of thousands of unskilled people.”

Cody Woff, an American lawyer for the Civil Liberté Union who represents children who are affected by Trump restrictions, said the administration’s plan was clearly unconstitutional.

“This decree is illegal, a complete judgment, and no quantity of maneuver of the administration will change this. We will continue to ensure that no baby citizenship is never deleted by this cruel and insane order,” said Wofsy in an email.

Trump signed a decree on the first day of his second mandate at the White House which would upset more than 125 years of understanding that the 14th amendment of the Constitution gives citizenship to all those born on American soil, to close exceptions for the children of foreign diplomats and those born of a foreign occupation force.

In a series of decisions, the lower courts have canceled the executive decree as unconstitutional, or probably, even after a decision of the Supreme Court at the end of June which limited the use of the judges of the national injunctions.

Although the Supreme Court has slowed down the use of injunctions at the national level, it has not excluded other judicial orders which could have effects on a national level, especially in collective appeals and those put by states. The judges did not determine at that time if the underlying citizenship order is constitutional.

But each lower court that examined the question concluded that Trump’s order is probably violating the 14th amendment, which was intended to ensure that blacks, including former slaves, had citizenship.

The administration calls for two cases.

The American Court of Appeal for the 9th Circuit of San Francisco ruled in July that a group of states which continued on the order needed a national injunction to prevent the problems which would be caused by citizenship of the right of birth in force in certain states and not in others.

Also in July, a federal judge of New Hampshire blocked the citizenship order in a collective appeal, including all the children who are affected.

Citizenship of the right of birth automatically makes anyone who was born in the United States to an American citizen, including children born of mothers who are illegally in the country, in the United States, according to long-standing rules. The right was registered shortly after the civil war during the first sentence of the 14th amendment.

The administration said that children of non-citizens are not “subject to competence” of the United States and therefore are not entitled to citizenship.
