Immigrant advocacy groups and leaders from 22 Democratic-led states strongly opposed the Trump administration's request to lift a nationwide ban on ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. This follows the president's declaration on his first day in office that citizenship should not be granted to children born to non-U.S. citizens. The advocacy groups argue that this move undermines the foundational American principle of equality for all born on U.S. soil. Lower courts have already blocked this order while litigation continues, highlighting ongoing controversies regarding immigration policy under the Trump administration.
Immigrant groups assert that ending birthright citizenship would violate the fundamental belief that all born on U.S. soil are created equal, challenging Trump's order.
The Trump administration's challenge against a temporary ban on ending birthright citizenship reflects ongoing legal disputes regarding immigration policies and fundamental citizenship rights.
