TRUMP’S Bold Move: Legal Battle Over Birthright Citizenship Ignites
— Attorneys general from 22 states are suing President Trump to stop his executive order on birthright citizenship. The order denies U.S. citizenship to children born in the country to unauthorized immigrants. This legal fight might greatly affect Trump’s immigration plans.
New Jersey’s Attorney General, Matthew J. Platkin, labeled the executive order “extraordinary and extreme.” Leading states like California and Massachusetts are questioning the legality of Trump’s decision, aiming to protect traditional immigration practices from recent changes by his administration.
This lawsuit adds to several legal challenges Trump faces post-inauguration. State governments and civil rights groups are resisting his immigration policies. The result could influence future talks on birthright citizenship in America.
