Trump Sued by 18 Democratic States Over Birthright Citizenship Order

ai generated text

A total of 18 Democratic-led states have filed a lawsuit against Trump, which is similar to two other lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, immigrant organizations, and an expectant mother. The lawsuits are in response to Trump's executive order that aims to roll back birthright citizenship, which would deny citizenship to children born in the US if neither parent is a US citizen or legal permanent resident.

    1. Presidents are powerful, but he is not a king. He cannot rewrite the constitution with a stroke of the pen.

    1. If allowed to stand, this order would endanger thousands of US citizens who will be born in the next year, real children and families just trying to live their lives in peace.
    2. I have one message for President Trump: I'll see you in court.
    3. Children would be forced to live under the threat of deportation, the fear, anxiety and trauma of that alone is enormously detrimental to their mental and emotional well being.
    4. I want to be clear that this isn't some theoretical legal disagreement I have with the president.

    1. Our members, who come from all over the world, have created vibrant communities, loving families, and built this country over generations. To deny their children the same basic rights as all other children born in the United States is an affront to basic values of fairness, equality, and inclusivity.

    American Civil Liberties Union
    1. Birthright citizenship is guaranteed in our Constitution and is absolutely central to what America stands for.
    2. Denying citizenship to babies born on US soil is illegal, profoundly cruel, and contrary to our values as a country.
