Santa Clara County has filed a lawsuit against President Trump's executive order, which seeks to eliminate birthright citizenship for children born to non-citizen parents. The lawsuit, filed in San Jose, follows a recent temporary restraining order from a federal judge preventing the order's implementation. Officials argue that the executive order violates the Constitution, particularly the 14th amendment, which guarantees citizenship to all individuals born in the U.S. This legal action aims to protect the rights of vulnerable populations within the county, where over 40% of residents are immigrants.
Santa Clara County is suing to block Trump’s executive order terminating birthright citizenship for children of non-citizens, asserting constitutional rights for vulnerable populations.
The lawsuit emphasizes that Trump's order unlawfully instructs federal agencies to ignore laws enshrined in the Constitution regarding birthright citizenship.
Santa Clara County's actions are aimed at protecting children born in the U.S. from losing their citizenship status due to their parents' immigration status.
County Executive James Williams underscores the lawsuit’s aim, stating it’s the county's duty to defend the rights of its most vulnerable community members.
