IMMIGRATION
⛔ Ban birthright citizenship
The details: Trump directed U.S. government agencies to stop issuing citizenship documentation to babies born in the United States to undocumented immigrants and foreigners with temporary visas. Three federal judges have put his order on hold, with one saying it “conflicts with the plain language” of the Constitution.
The challenge: Civil rights groups in at least six federal cases are challenging Trump’s order on the grounds that it violates a provision of the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to all people born on U.S. soil.
What’s next: Trump has appealed one of the preliminary orders from federal judges in Seattle and Maryland blocking his policy nationwide while litigation continues.
🟡 Ban on asylum
The details: Trump declared an emergency at the southern border and invoked an executive power that he says enables him to suspend admission to foreigners he deems “detrimental” to U.S. interests.
Where it stands: The case is pending in federal court in D.C.
