Lawsuits have been filed in 22 states challenging Trump’s decision to revoke birthright citizenship. When newly elected US President Donald Trump took the oath of office for his second term, he made several decisions, the most discussed and controversial of which was to rescind birthright citizenship in the country. Lawsuits have been filed in 22 states challenging this ruling. All of these states are strongholds of President Biden’s political opponent, the Democratic Party.
Lawsuits have been filed in 22 : On Tuesday (January 21), California’s Attorney General, Rob Bonta, filed a challenge challenging this order in a federal court in Massachusetts. The petition was signed by the attorneys general of Massachusetts and twenty other states. Bonta personally revealed this information in a statement on Tuesday.
In a statement, California’s Attorney General said, “The President’s executive order to withdraw birthright citizenship is repugnant, unjust, and completely unlawful. This sequence is inconsistent with US principles. By making this order, the President has committed a serious abuse of power, and we will hold him accountable. We urge the court to take urgent action to halt this order and ensure that the rights of children born in the United States are not violated as long as the case is ongoing.”
During the presidential election campaign in the United States, Donald Trump stated that if elected, he would end the birthright citizenship provision. After being sworn in as President on Monday, Trump issued multiple executive orders on Tuesday, including one to repeal birthright citizenship.
According to Trump’s edict, if a kid is born in the United States to undocumented immigrants, the child will no longer be considered a US citizen. Furthermore, if the parents entered the United States legally but one of them is not a permanent resident, the child will not be granted citizenship.
Furthermore, if a person gives birth in the United States while on a student, work, or tourist visa, the kid will no longer be eligible for US citizenship. This order is scheduled to take effect on February 20.
It is worth mentioning that the 14th Amendment to the United specifies Constitution specifies that every child born on US soil is considered a citizen. This amendment was introduced to the Constitution 150 years ago, principally to provide acknowledgment to the children of African slaves.
