Trump Signs Executive Order Ending Birthright Citizenship; Legal Challenges Expected
Jan 21, 2025, 01:18 AM
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aiming to end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants, a move that is expected to face significant legal challenges. The order, signed on January 21, 2025, seeks to reinterpret the 14th Amendment, which currently grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." The order will take effect in 30 days, applying to births after that date. Legal experts anticipate that the executive order will be challenged in court, as birthright citizenship is enshrined in the Constitution and has been affirmed by the Supreme Court.
