ACLU Seeks Court Order to Block Trump's New Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship
- The ACLU and other advocacy groups have filed a motion to block President Trump's new executive order on birthright citizenship, arguing it violates the 14th Amendment and contradicts the Supreme Court's previous ruling.
- The new order, issued on August 6, attempts to broaden the categories of children ineligible for automatic citizenship, particularly targeting 'birth tourism'.
- The Supreme Court previously ruled that Trump's first executive order on this issue was unconstitutional, affirming citizenship for children born in the U.S. regardless of their parents' immigration status.
