Summary
The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit challenging President Trump’s executive order to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. if their parents are unlawfully present or have temporary legal status.
The order, set to take effect in 30 days, conflicts with the 14th Amendment, which guarantees birthright citizenship, upheld by the Supreme Court in 1898.
Critics argue the order creates a “subclass” of noncitizens, undermining fairness and equality.
The lawsuit seeks to block the order, which also directs agencies to stop issuing passports and recognizing affected children as citizens.
Yes, if they arent’ subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, you can’t touch them.
It’s obvious to anybody not deliberately misreading the text that this is meant to apply to people like foreign diplomats, who really are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US. But then deliberately misreading the text is the specialty of the Roberts court, so who knows what they’d decide. Whatever some billionaires pays them to decide, I guess.
