A judge has issued a temporary block on Donald Trump's decree aimed at eliminating birthright citizenship, ruling it unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. This action has left thousands of families, particularly pregnant women like Monica, feeling anxious and confused about the future nationality of their children. The decree's ambiguity poses a risk of creating a generation without citizenship, prompting concerns among those applying for asylum or TPS. Advocacy groups are stepping in, including CASA and ASAP, as families navigate the complexities arising from the executive order during this challenging time.
My child is going to be stateless. The executive order has caused a lot of confusion for many families like mine. Those of us applying for asylum or TPS don't know exactly what we should do with this executive order, if it applies to our cases.
Instead of focusing on having a healthy baby, we're stressed, anxious, and depressed by this situation. Now, we worry that our babies won't have citizenship, she laments.
The temporary block leaves the decree's implementation uncertain, but thousands of families are left feeling threatened by an executive order fraught with ambiguity.
Stripping children of this right based on the immigration status of their parents was one of the first decrees signed by the tycoon.
