Birthright Citizenship Order Stalled by Courts

President Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship via executive order is in limbo as multiple lawsuits have frozen its enforcement. Courts argue the order conflicts with the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Judges have issued injunctions preventing agencies from denying newborns’ citizenship. The White House insists it can limit who qualifies under the amendment, but legal scholars overwhelmingly disagree. For now, children of non-citizens born in the U.S. remain citizens, and the matter will likely head to higher courts.
