The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to stop appeals court rulings that blocked Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship, which would deny U.S. citizenship to children born in the U.S. if their parents are undocumented or on temporary visas.

For this to be the outcome of the first huge clash between Trump and the Supreme Court in his second term is quite surprising and extraordinary.

The justices split 5-4 on whether to halt a judge’s order to restart nearly $2 billion in State Department and USAID payments for work that has been done.
