President Trump on Friday told reporters that after SCOTUS’s ruling on birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions issued by rogue leftist District Court Judges, “we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies” that were previously blocked by radical left judges.
This includes previous executive orders and actions, such as “including birthright citizenship, ending sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, stopping federal taxpayers from paying for transgender surgeries and numerous other priorities of the American people,” the President told reporters.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump held a press conference in the White House Press Briefing Room on Friday.

President Trump Holds Press Conference Following SCOTUS Ruling on Rogue Judges – 11:30 AM ET
This came just hours after the United States Supreme Court delivered a powerful rebuke of activist judges and handed President Trump a pivotal legal victory on Friday by reaffirming the rightful balance of power between the judiciary and the executive.
In a 6–3 decision, the Court sided with the Trump administration, ruling that federal district courts lack the constitutional or statutory authority to issue so-called ‘universal injunctions.’ The ruling stems from challenges to President Trump’s executive order.
Hours after taking office, Trump signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship, which gives children born in the U.S. the immediate right to citizenship, The Gateway Pundit reported.
This order was intended to stop women from entering the U.S. illegally and giving birth to “anchor babies,” whose citizenship they then use for their own benefit.
However, it was immediately challenged by left-wing organizations.
President Trump noted during his press conference that birthright citizenship was meant for the babies of slaves, but now “hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship.”
WATCH:
Trump: Thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis. And some of the cases we’re talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now comes to the fore. That was meant for the babies of slaves. It wasn’t meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the country on a vacation.
This was— in fact, it was the same date, the exact same date [as] the end of the Civil War. It was meant for the babies of slaves. And it’s so clean and so obvious, but this lets us go there and finally win that case, because hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship, and it wasn’t meant for that reason. It was meant for the babies of slaves.
So, thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with these numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, including birthright citizenship, ending sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, stopping federal taxpayers from paying for transgender surgeries and numerous other priorities of the American people.
