The ACLU filed suit against President Trump’s executive order attempting to revoke birthright citizenship, arguing it directly contradicts the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to all persons born in the U.S. The suit, filed in New Hampshire on behalf of affected families, claims the order violates both the 14th Amendment and the Administrative Procedures Act. While the administration acknowledged potential legal issues by suggesting a prospective application of the order, the ACLU maintains the order is unconstitutional and a repudiation of American values. The ACLU is confident of prevailing in its challenge to this executive action.

President Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, directly contradicting the 14th Amendment and established Supreme Court precedent, most notably *United States v. Wong Kim Ark*. The order’s immediate legal challenges have a high likelihood of success, despite the current Supreme Court’s conservative leaning. Even the justices in *Plessy v. Ferguson*, known for its racist ruling, upheld birthright citizenship in *Wong Kim Ark*, demonstrating the strength of the 14th Amendment’s clear language. The continued assertion of birthright citizenship reaffirms the nation’s commitment to legal equality for all born within its borders.

President Trump plans to issue a series of executive orders on his first day in office addressing immigration. Key actions include ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, despite potential legal challenges stemming from the 14th Amendment. Additionally, the orders will reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy, end “catch and release,” and declare a national emergency at the border, authorizing the deployment of armed forces for border wall construction. Further measures include suspending refugee resettlement, increasing migrant vetting, and designating certain criminal organizations as global terrorists.

President Biden has voiced his strong disapproval of President-elect Trump’s intention to eliminate birthright citizenship in the United States. He described the idea as “awful,” highlighting the profound implications of such a move.
The cornerstone of this sentiment rests on the fundamental belief that the U.S. is a unique multicultural nation, and this diversity is a significant source of its strength. Altering birthright citizenship would fundamentally undermine this very essence.
Biden questioned the very logic of such a proposition. He pointed out the inherent contradiction in denying citizenship to individuals born within the country’s borders, questioning what principles would then define citizenship.… Continue reading
Connecticut’s attorney general has declared he would be the first to file a lawsuit if Donald Trump were to attempt to abolish birthright citizenship. This bold statement highlights the significant legal and political ramifications of such a move.
The assertion underscores the deep-seated belief that birthright citizenship, enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment, is a fundamental principle of American law. Challenging this long-standing legal precedent would undoubtedly trigger widespread legal challenges, and the Connecticut AG’s willingness to spearhead such a fight is a strong indication of the seriousness with which this threat is viewed.
It’s a testament to the potential for such an action to spark widespread opposition, particularly among those who view birthright citizenship as a cornerstone of American identity and the promise of equal opportunity.… Continue reading
Despite repeated attempts by former President Trump to eliminate birthright citizenship via executive order, this is constitutionally impossible. The 14th Amendment explicitly grants citizenship to all persons born in the U.S. and subject to its jurisdiction, a principle affirmed repeatedly by the Supreme Court. Attempts to overturn this would require a constitutional amendment, not executive action. This right applies equally to children of all parents, regardless of immigration status, reflecting a foundational aspect of American equality.

President-elect Trump cited statistics on the number of convicted murderers released into the U.S., claiming 13,099 were released in the last three years. However, the Department of Homeland Security clarified that this figure encompasses individuals convicted over the past four decades and many remain incarcerated. Trump also reiterated his plans to end birthright citizenship via executive action and to deport families of undocumented immigrants, echoing the policy proposals of his newly appointed Border Czar. These statements reveal a hardline stance on immigration issues for the incoming administration.

In a recent interview, President-elect Trump reiterated his commitment to mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, starting with criminals and then expanding to others, potentially including American citizen family members. He intends to end birthright citizenship through executive action, despite the likely legal challenges. While expressing a desire to avoid family separations, he suggested families with mixed immigration status could choose to be deported together. However, he also indicated a willingness to collaborate with Democrats on a solution for Dreamers, allowing them to remain in the U.S.

President-elect Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship via executive action faces significant legal challenges due to the 1898 Supreme Court case *United States v. Wong Kim Ark*. This policy, however, is ironically juxtaposed against his own family’s history, as his niece, Mary Trump, points out that birthright citizenship enabled her grandfather’s immigration and subsequent success in America. The 14th Amendment’s role in securing citizenship for formerly enslaved people is also highlighted in contrast to Trump’s proposed policy. Despite his hardline stance, Trump expressed willingness to work with Democrats on a solution for “Dreamers.”
