Trump's Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship Faces Legal Challenges
President Trump's executive order redefining birthright citizenship faces lawsuits from multiple states arguing it violates the Constitution's 14th Amendment.
Overview
In response to Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship, which denies it to children born to non-citizen and non-permanent resident parents, 23 states have filed lawsuits claiming a constitutional violation. Trump's directive, effective February 19, 2025, challenges over 150 years of established law and has been met with swift legal opposition invoking the 14th Amendment. Experts state this interpretation conflicts with judicial precedent, suggesting the Supreme Court will likely uphold existing citizenship rights.
