On the 2024 campaign trail, President Donald Trump promised to end birthright citizenship, and the only reason that hasn't happened as of yet is due to the mountain of legal hurdles and challenges that have come his administration's way in trying to implement the change.

However, according to Fox News, the Trump administration seems as if it's going full speed ahead with ending the program, as it informed a federal judge this week that it could begin enforcing the executive order ending the program as soon as this month. 

The U.S. Supreme Court had issued a 30-day stay on the order blocking the administration's executive order, which is set to expire, allowing the Trump administration to move ahead with their action.

Lawyers for the Trump administration informed a federal judge that it would not begin enforcing the change until July 27.

What's going on?

In a Tuesday court filing, Justice Department attorney Brad Rosenberg made it clear what the administration is doing with the executive order as it relates to the Supreme Court's stay.

"The Court’s stay thus allows Defendants to immediately begin to 'develop and issu[e] public guidance about the executive’s plans to implement the executive order," Rosenberg's statement read.

Fox News noted:

The update comes after Trump officials testified Monday at an emergency hearing in Maryland, where Boardman grilled government lawyers for details on how they plan to enforce the president's order.

The executive order ending the program was one of Trump's Day One EOs that he signed.

In the order, Trump wrote that he "directs all U.S. government agencies to refuse to issue citizenship documents to children born to illegal immigrants, or who do not have at least one parent who is an American citizen of lawful permanent resident."

Social media reacts

Users across social media, and especially Trump's supporters, were happy to hear that the president is able to move forward with the campaign promise.

"Two illegals should not produce a citizen. That is a complete and total abuse of the 14th Amendment," one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, "Yes. We are the only country in the world that allows Birthright citizenship. And the hospital bill is paid by the hardworking taxpayers."

Only time will tell when the Trump administration puts the EO into action.
