On Thursday, the Supreme Court appeared poised to uphold the injunction against President Donald Trump's curbs on birthright citizenship, even as they explored avenues for limiting the scope of nationwide injunctions issued by lower courts.

The specifics of such a ruling remained ambiguous, yet a majority of the court voiced apprehensions regarding the potential consequences of granting the Trump administration the authority, even on an interim basis, to deny citizenship to children born on US soil to undocumented immigrants.

The justices deliberated on the Trump administration's urgent appeals, addressing lower court injunctions that had effectively suspended the citizenship restrictions nationwide.

Nationwide injunctions have become a crucial mechanism for curbing the Trump administration's governmental restructuring attempts, while simultaneously provoking increasing exasperation amongst the Republican president and his supporters.

Since January of his second term, forty nationwide injunctions have been mandated by judges, Solicitor General D. John Sauer informed the court at the commencement of arguments lasting over two hours.

The administration has urgently petitioned the court to consider birthright citizenship alongside a range of immigration-related matters.

A lawsuit of this nature could be expedited and potentially have nationwide implications.

However, under rigorous examination from Justice Amy Coney Barrett and other members of the bench, Sauer conceded that the Trump administration might plausibly contest such litigation, or potentially seek to protract class-action proceedings.

Emergency appeals rarely reach the Supreme Court's oral argument docket, as the justices typically prioritize the substantive merits of a given dispute.

The administration, however, refrained from requesting the court's consideration of the broader question at this juncture; should the court rule in favour of the administration regarding nationwide injunctions, the duration of potentially conflicting regulations pertaining to citizenship for children born within the United States remains indeterminate.

A decision should be forthcoming by the end of June.
