Legal experts warn of uncertainty over Trump’s partial repeal of birthright citizenship
SUMMARY: President Trump signed an order challenging birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to immigrants who are here illegally or temporarily. Legal experts argue that the move violates the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. Critics label it unconstitutional and racially discriminatory, pointing to past rulings affirming birthright citizenship. Although some believe the order will be overturned in court, there’s uncertainty due to a more conservative Supreme Court. Legal challenges are expected, with opponents seeking to block the order before it takes effect. Critics suggest Trump may use the issue to rally his supporters.
President Donald Trump followed through on a campaign promise Monday to move to remove the guarantee of citizenship for some children born on U.S. soil.
