Trump Ally Hails Supreme Court Ruling as Victory for All Presidents

DDM News

The U.S. Supreme Court’s latest ruling on the controversial birthright citizenship dispute continues to stir heated reactions, with former Trump administration officials praising the decision as a long-term institutional win.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that Ken Cuccinelli, who served as Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security under former President Donald Trump, described the ruling as a “strong opinion” that will impact presidential powers far beyond the current political moment.

Speaking to CNN on Friday, Cuccinelli emphasized that the court did not issue a judgment on the constitutionality of Trump’s executive order targeting birthright citizenship.

Instead, he noted that the court addressed the legal process by which such disputes should proceed.

“This is a big win, not just for President Trump, [but] for the presidency,” Cuccinelli said. “Because this is a procedural rule.

They didn’t decide on birthright citizenship, they decided on the process by which that dispute will be handled, and that will apply to all presidents in the future.”

The ruling, delivered by the Supreme Court earlier in the day, restricts the power of district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions blocking presidential actions.

However, it still leaves open a path for broad legal relief through class-action lawsuits, a strategy already being pursued by immigrant rights advocates.

Trump’s 2025 executive order aimed to eliminate birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants, a move that triggered lawsuits from advocacy groups and affected individuals.

Plaintiffs argue the order violates the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.

Though the high court avoided ruling on the central constitutional question, Cuccinelli suggested the broader issue, whether birthright citizenship can be lawfully restricted, is likely to return to the Supreme Court soon.

“I believe it will be decided by the Supreme Court in the next year or two,” he told CNN.

The ruling has been interpreted differently across the political spectrum. Immigrant rights advocates decry it as a blow to judicial oversight, while Trump allies view it as a landmark decision that reinforces executive authority.

Legal experts stress that although the procedural decision may streamline presidential powers, it also heightens the importance of class-action litigation as a tool for constitutional challenges.

With a new legal front opening, the fight over birthright citizenship appears far from over, and the outcome could redefine how immigration laws are enforced and interpreted in the years to come.
