Judge rejects Trump's claims about birthright citizenship, says "no court" has ever endorsed them

Salon  

A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship in the United States, blocking the order from going into effect later this month. In fact, no court in the country has ever endorsed the president's interpretation.” In the case, two civil rights groups, CASA and the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, are arguing that Trump’s executive order, which would deny citizenship to the children of immigrants who do not themselves have citizenship, violates the 14th Amendment. That amendment states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The two organizations are joined by five pregnant women in challenging the executive order, with the women contesting the order based on concerns about the citizenship status of their children. We need your help to stay independent Subscribe today to support Salon's progressive journalism In the various cases challenging the executive order, the Trump administration argues that the 14th Amendment has been misinterpreted since 1898, when the Supreme Court decided in United States v. Wong Kim Ark that children born to immigrant parents do maintain their birthright citizenship status, with only a few exceptions like in the case of the children of diplomats.
