In his first day back in office, Donald Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship has drawn immediate criticism and legal challenges from the ACLU. Legal experts, including Thomas Wolf from the Brennan Center, assert that the move is in direct violation of the 14th Amendment and established Supreme Court case law. Wolf expresses optimism about the enduring integrity of the 14th Amendment, noting past precedents that support birthright citizenship, despite concerns about the current Supreme Court's potential biases. The ACLU intends to contest the executive order swiftly.
Trump's executive order is unconstitutional, in direct conflict with the plain language of the 14th Amendment and over a century's worth of Supreme Court case law.
Trump's EO will be litigated immediately and its prospects of surviving those court fights are slim, even before a Supreme Court stacked with conservative justices and Trump appointees.
