    It was about whether or not a federal court can issue a nationwide injunction.

    The verdict has much more to do with active cases of deportees suing the US than it does to do with birthright citizenship.

      This is technically true, but it’s also wrong.

      Yes, they didn’t technically rule on birthright citizenship, but it doesn’t matter. Without national injunctions, your right to birthright citizenship doesn’t actually exist as a practical matter.

      By the time you can file your individual case challenging the revocation of your citizenship, you’ll already be in an ICE concentration camp. And you don’t have a right to an attorney during immigration proceedings.
