    SummaryTrump order targeted children of certain immigrants Three judges issued orders blocking policy nationwide Administration challenges nationwide injunctions WASHINGTON, May 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court wrestled on Thursday over Donald Trump's attempt to broadly enforce his executive order to restrict birthright citizenship, a move that would affect thousands of babies born each year as the Republican president seeks a major shift in how the U.S. Constitution has long been understood.The court's conservative justices, who hold a 6-3 majority, seemed willing to limit the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide, or "universal," injunctions, as federal judges in Maryland,...

  • Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship heads to the Supreme Court [Tuesday]

    05/12/2025 8:40:15 PM PDT · by Red Badger · 45 replies
    For more than 150 years, almost all people who were born within U.S. territory automatically received citizenship – regardless of their parents’ immigration status. President Donald Trump’s January 2025 executive order on birthright citizenship – stating that children born in the U.S. to parents who are not in the country legally, or who are not permanent residents, cannot receive citizenship – threatens to upend this precedent. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the case on May 15, 2025. This comes after federal judges in three cases that took place in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington banned Trump’s order...

    Washington, D.C.—The Claremont Institute’s Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, led by Dr. John Eastman, submitted an amicus curiae brief to the Supreme Court in support of President Trump’s executive order, Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship, and related legal challenges disputing an expansive interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Birthright Citizenship Clause.Three separate activist judges have blocked this lawful executive order, their rulings resting on the premise that children born in the United States to parents here only temporarily or unlawfully are automatic citizens.Our brief demonstrates that the Fourteenth Amendment was understood to grant citizenship only to those born in...
  • 'Parenting 101:' Border Czar Tom Homan Says U.S.-Born Kids Don’t Protect Illegal Immigrants from Deportation

    Townhall ^ | 04/29/2025 | Sarah Arnold
    President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has made it clear that having U.S.-born children does not grant undocumented immigrants automatic immunity from deportation. In a recent statement, Homan emphasized that while the presence of citizen children may be considered during immigration proceedings, it does not override violations of immigration law. During an interview on CBS News’ Face the Nation, Tom Homan reiterated that having a U.S. citizen child does not make undocumented immigrants "immune from our laws." “Having a U.S. citizen child after you enter this country illegally is not a get-out-of-jail-free card,” he said. “American families get separated...

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied claims that three minor U.S. citizens, all under ten years old – and one with stage IV cancer, were deported without due process, calling the accusations "misleading." The Washington Post reported that three American citizens from two different families, aged two, four and seven, were deported along with their mothers from a Louisiana facility on Friday. The report alleged that the four-year-old child is suffering from stage-4 cancer and that the mother had no way of contacting their doctors, according to the family’s lawyer. Rubio pushed back against the claims that the children were...

    The Trump administration had asked the justices to lift a nationwide pause on the policy as lower court challenges continue.The Supreme Court announced on Thursday that it would hear arguments in a few weeks over President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship.The brief order by the justices was unsigned and gave no reasoning, as is typical in such emergency cases. But the unusual move is a sign that the justices consider the matter significant enough that they would immediately hold oral argument on the government’s request to lift a nationwide pause on the policy.The justices announced they would defer any...

    A third appellate court has upheld a block on President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship. The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals made the ruling Tuesday, denying a motion from Trump’s legal team to immediately overturn a block issued by a federal judge in Massachusetts. Trump’s executive order would block automatic citizenship for any child born in the U.S. to someone who is in the country illegally, as well as children born to someone with temporary legal status if the child’s father is not a citizen or legal permanent resident. Roughly two dozen states have sued over the executive...

    Leaving birthright citizenship to the Roberts court is walking into a minefield – legislation is the smarter route to end this unnecessary relic of the 19th century. Here’s why. If conservatives are counting on the Supreme Court to rule birthright citizenship for illegal aliens unconstitutional, think again – it isn’t the slam dunk many believe it to be. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a better path to abolishing this disastrous policy for good.

    The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that President Donald Trump cannot end birthright citizenship with his executive order, likely setting up a battle about the issue in the Supreme Court. The Justice Department had filed an emergency request for the court to lift a Seattle judge’s freeze on the policy, but the appeals court denied it on Wednesday. CNN reports: The 9th Circuit panel – made up of a Trump appointee, a Jimmy Carter appointee and a George W. Bush appointee – said that a closer review of the case will move forward in its court, with...

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has rejected an attempt by President Donald Trump to reinstate his executive order aimed at curbing birthright citizenship. The court's decision on Wednesday (February 19) leaves in place a nationwide injunction that blocks the order, which was signed on the day of Trump's inauguration. The order sought to deny birthright citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants and certain foreigners by reinterpreting the 14th Amendment. The Ninth Circuit's three-judge panel unanimously ruled against the Trump administration's emergency request to lift the injunction, stating that the administration did not make a strong case...

    President Trump has placed this once relatively obscure legal issue into the public square of American political democracy. He has, in essence, democratized the issue. Automatic birthright citizenship is no longer solely a technical question confined to legal elites, but a vital political and policy issue, a space where the people’s voice should be heard. Trump’s executive order and the proposed congressional legislation mean that the democratically elected branches of government have joined the conversation in deciding the critical question of who should or should not automatically become an American citizen. This is not a transient issue that will simply...

    Since winning his election and taking office for his second term, President Donald J. Trump wasted no time sweeping up the messes left by the dark ages of the Biden presidency, including mass deporting the multitude of law-breaking people who invaded our sovereign borders. Rather than speaking up for the rights of American citizens violently ripped from their mothers’ wombs every day, the abortion-hungry Left has leapt to defend the cause of illegal aliens. In doing so, they deem illegal aliens in the womb worthy of greater legal protections than American children in the womb. Main Idea: The American Civil...

Instead of fixing gas prices, groceries, or public safety, Democrats’ top priority was ensuring that children of illegal aliens from the Biden Border Crisis could become future voters.

    An immigrant group behind a major lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship receives millions of dollars in government funding annually, a Washington Examiner analysis of public records has found. CASA, an organization that helps migrants find work regardless of their legal status, filed the lawsuit alongside the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project and five pregnant noncitizens in January, arguing that Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.

    America First Legal filed two amicus briefs this week in support of President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. The firm filed the briefs on behalf of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and 17 other committee members. Despite there being nearly two dozen Democrat-run states and civil rights groups suing to stop the order and two federal judges ruling to temporarily block it, America First is arguing that there is a clear constitutional basis for denying citizenship to illegal migrants who have broken the country’s immigration laws. Trump’s order titled "Protecting...
