Executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship

Trump signed Executive Order 14160 attempting to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and temporary visa holders, directly violating the 14th Amendment. The order denies citizenship to babies born after February 19, 2025 if the mother is unlawfully present and father is not a US citizen or lawful permanent resident, or if the mother is lawfully but temporarily present (tourist/student/work visa) and father is not a US citizen or LPR. Multiple federal judges issued nationwide preliminary injunctions blocking the order. Judge Deborah Boardman ruled the order "conflicts with the plain language of the 14th Amendment, contradicts 125-year old binding Supreme Court precedent." The 14th Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens."
