The Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship is causing widespread confusion in the U.S. immigrant community
Briefly

The U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling regarding birthright citizenship has resulted in significant confusion among immigrants, leading to an influx of inquiries to lawyers. The decision allows Trump’s directive, which refuses citizenship to children born in the U.S. without at least one American parent, to take effect in 30 days, although further challenges might keep it blocked. Immigration advocates worry about the potential fragmented application across states, as the ruling affects those in 28 states that did not contest it, leaving many parents unsure about their children's rights and uncertain about future litigations.
If the order is not blocked nationwide, the restrictions could apply in the 28 states that did not contest them, creating a "confusing patchwork" across the country.
Immigration advocates and lawyers reported a surge in calls from anxious pregnant immigrants and partners trying to understand the implications of the ruling.
