The ongoing legal debates surrounding birthright citizenship have intensified, with 22 states and various immigrant rights groups challenging President Trump's executive order aimed at restricting automatic citizenship. Legal representatives articulated differing perspectives on the applicability of nationwide injunctions, with a consensus emerging around their limited convenience in cases where constitutional violations are alleged. Despite Trump's persistent assertions regarding the lack of constitutional guarantees for birthright citizenship, federal courts have consistently ruled against his order, emphasizing its constitutionality while the case progresses to higher judicial review.
Kelsi Corkran suggested allowing nationwide injunctions only when the government action is deemed by plaintiffs to be violating the Constitution.
Trump issued an executive order barring automatic citizenship for any baby born in the U.S. to parents who entered illegally.
