The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on parts of its plans to end birthright citizenship, by asking the court to narrow the injunctions that lower courts can use to block the president's order.

Multiple federal judges have recently blocked President Donald Trump's order, including one judge who stated the order "conflicts with the plain language of the 14th Amendment," and contradicts previous Supreme Court rulings.

Trump signed the executive order, which would end the constitutional birthright to citizenship regardless of parents’ immigration status, on Inauguration Day. 

Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris filed three concurrent emergency applications in separate cases, and asked the court to limit lower court injunctions to individuals or groups that sued over the order, instead of halting the order nationally.

"[Broad injunctions] compromise the executive branch’s ability to carry out its functions,” Harris wrote. “This court should declare that enough is enough before district courts’ burgeoning reliance on universal injunctions becomes further entrenched."

The requests did not ask the court to weigh in on the merits of the plan, which would make birthright citizenship available to people born in the U.S. if one parent is a legal citizen, according to NBC News.
