North Carolina sues President Trump over birthright citizenship
SUMMARY: In response to a new executive order from the Trump Administration aiming to ban Birthright citizenship, North Carolina has initiated a lawsuit. Attorney General Jeff Jackson argues the order violates the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. Trump’s order seeks to restrict this by denying citizenship to children born to undocumented or temporarily visa-holding parents. Jackson insists this reinterpretation lacks constitutional backing. This legal challenge is part of a broader effort to toughen immigration policies, reflecting ongoing political divides, with 18 Democratic states joining the lawsuit to oppose the executive order.
North Carolina is joining the list of states suing the Trump administration over an executive order targeting birthright citizenship. State Attorney General Jeff Jackson sued over President Trump’s executive order that would stop children of undocumented immigrants– and even some legal immigrants–from receiving citizenship just because they are born in the U.S. WRAL State Government Reporter Will Doran explains what this executive order would change and the lawsuit to stop it.
