"Three babies born in the last several months don't know it yet, but they are on their way to making history. Joined by their parents, these little bundles of joy are plaintiffs in Barbara v. Trump, a landmark case challenging President Donald Trump's executive order that seeks to limit who is eligible for U.S. citizenship. The Supreme Court agreed to hear their case last week, and these young plaintiffs represent thousands of babies born to immigrants around the country."
"The Barbara case came together after the Supreme Court banned lower court judges from issuing universal injunctions in a devastating decision that came down in June. It was prompted by the Trump administration's challenges of three separate universal injunctions that had stopped Trump's executive order from taking effect. That order sought to restrict U.S. citizenship from babies born on U.S. soil to mothers who do not have legal status or are in the country on a temporary basis"
Three infants born recently in the United States are plaintiffs in Barbara v. Trump alongside their noncitizen parents. The case challenges an executive order that would deny U.S. citizenship to children born on U.S. soil when mothers lack legal status or are temporary visitors and fathers are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents. The Supreme Court took the case after it limited lower courts' use of universal injunctions, leaving class-action litigation as the primary pathway. The ruling will determine whether thousands of U.S.-born children of immigrant parents become stateless or retain citizenship under the Constitution.
