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.

Recent bills, like those passed in Georgia, ban state insurance plans from covering these services, alarming healthcare providers.
