What is birthright citizenship and what happens after the Supreme Court ruling?
Briefly

In response to a Supreme Court ruling impacting federal judges' abilities to issue universal injunctions, immigrant rights organizations are shifting tactics by filing a national class action lawsuit. This suit aims to protect individuals without legal status who have children born in the U.S. after February 19, 2025. Lawyers argue that Trump's executive order could jeopardize the citizenship status of countless children. The lawsuit involves multiple court filings to seek class certification and immediate relief for affected individuals, emphasizing the executive order's detrimental effects on newly born U.S. citizens.
The Executive Order threatens these newborns' identity as United States citizens and interferes with their enjoyment of the full privileges, rights, and benefits that come with U.S. citizenship.
William Powell stated that with the class action approach, we will be able to get complete relief for everyone who would be covered by the executive order.
