Oregon joins coalition challenging Trump's birthright citizenship order

A coalition of states, including Wisconsin, California, and Oregon, is challenging President Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. The order, which claims that such children should not be recognized as citizens, is seen as a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and established legal precedents. Attorney General Rob Bonta of California emphasized that the order could affect approximately 24,500 children born annually in his state alone, stripping them of vital rights and federal benefits. Wisconsin's Governor Tony Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul stated that the executive order is unconstitutional and could lead to significant losses in federal funding for state programs. The lawsuit seeks immediate relief to prevent the order from taking effect, with the coalition arguing that it creates a permanent underclass of stateless individuals. Legal experts agree that the order conflicts with decades of Supreme Court rulings affirming birthright citizenship.
