The Trump administration is escalating its campaign against birthright citizenship by appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. So far, courts have consistently blocked Trump's executive order aimed at nullifying citizenship for children born in the U.S., a move widely viewed as unconstitutional under the 14th amendment. Legal experts warn that if the Supreme Court grants the administration's request to narrow lower court orders, it could create significant legal and societal confusion over citizenship rights. Historical precedents and judicial rulings heavily favor the existing interpretation of citizenship by birth in the U.S.
The Trump administration is taking its fight to nullify birthright citizenship to the U.S. Supreme Court, despite every previous court blocking its executive order.
Judge John Coughenour called Trump's executive order 'blatantly unconstitutional,' establishing a precedent against Trump’s position on birthright citizenship.
Legal experts caution that if the Supreme Court permits Trump's request, it could lead to chaos regarding who is covered by birthright citizenship.
The 14th amendment clearly states that 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States...are citizens of the United States,' contradicting Trump's views.
