The ACLU files a lawsuit against the Trump administration on birthright citizenship, and the administration responds, ready to defend its position.
The Trump administration's birthright citizenship order is being challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union.
The Trump administration is prepared to counter "the Left's opposition" in court following a leading civil rights organization filing a lawsuit against President Trump's order revoking birthright citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields stated on Planet Chronicle Digital that radical leftists have two options: they can go against the majority and reject President Trump's agenda, or they can join forces with him to advance it.
The Trump administration is prepared to confront these lawsuits, which are merely an extension of the Left's opposition, in court, as stated.
Trump issued an order, "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," which clarifies the 14th Amendment and ends birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants.
While some legal scholars and immigration groups contend that the amendment applies to individuals of illegal status, conservatives argue that it does not because they are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of organizations with members whose babies born on U.S. soil will be denied citizenship under the order, claiming the order is unconstitutional and against congressional intent and Supreme Court precedent.
According to Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, denying citizenship to U.S.-born children is not only unconstitutional but also a reckless and ruthless repudiation of American values.
The Trump order asserts that individuals born in the United States and not subject to its jurisdiction are not automatically granted US citizenship if their mother was unlawfully present in the country at the time of birth, or if her presence was lawful but temporary and the father was not a US citizen or permanent resident.
The ACLU contends that all infants born in the US are American citizens, except for the offspring of foreign diplomats.
Romero stated that birthright citizenship is a crucial aspect of the United States' strength and vitality as a nation. This order aims to repeat one of the most significant mistakes in American history by creating a permanent underclass of individuals born in the U.S. who are denied their full rights as Americans. We will not allow this assault on newborns and future generations of Americans to go unchallenged. The Trump administration's overreach is so excessive that we are confident we will ultimately succeed.
On his first day in office, Trump signed an order declaring a national emergency at the border in addition to one related to border security and illegal immigration.
Trump issued orders to resume border wall construction, end Biden's parole policies, and designate international cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
The government suspended refugee resettlement for four months and ended the ability for migrants to claim asylum by creating an immediate removal process without the possibility of asylum.
