""The 'lessons of history' thus give us every reason to be wary of now blessing this most recent effort to break with our established tradition of recognizing birthright citizenship and to make citizenship depend on the actions of one's parents rather than - in all but the rarest of circumstances - the simple fact of being born in the United States,""
""The First Circuit reaffirmed what we already knew to be true: The President's attack on birthright citizenship flagrantly defies the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and a nationwide injunction is the only reasonable way to protect against its catastrophic implications,""
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston ruled that the Trump administration cannot withhold citizenship from children born in the United States to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. A three-judge panel upheld lower courts' preliminary injunctions that block the president's birthright order while multiple lawsuits proceed. The panel concluded plaintiffs are likely to succeed on claims that the children described in the order are entitled to birthright citizenship under the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The order would have halted automatic citizenship for babies born to people in the U.S. illegally or temporarily. Nearly 20 states participated in the legal challenge.
