President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to end birthright citizenship on his first day in office, according to a recent interview. This policy shift would challenge the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which currently grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Trump also indicated that he could deport families with mixed immigration statuses, signaling a potential change in immigration policy.
