I scanned the Wikipedia article you cited, and all I could find was that Federal courts are authorized by statute to issue declaratory judgments only in patent and other intellectual property cases. So unless I missed some detail that you’ve found, there would seem to be no chance of their issuing a declaratory judgment about Cruz’s citizenship.
