Trump's Birthright Citizenship Order Faces Legal Hurdles

President Donald Trump's recent executive order to end birthright citizenship has sparked immediate legal challenges from multiple advocacy groups, including the ACLU and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The order, which aims to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are undocumented or on temporary visas, is seen as unconstitutional by critics, contradicting the 14th Amendment. This amendment guarantees citizenship to all born on U.S. soil, a principle upheld for over a century. Legal experts anticipate that the order will face significant judicial pushback, as similar measures have traditionally been struck down in court. The lawsuit, filed just hours after the order was signed, argues that the policy would create a permanent subclass of people denied full rights. Trump's action is part of a broader immigration strategy that includes increased border security and deportations, reflecting his campaign promises.
