Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Appeals Court Rules Trump's Effort to End Birthright Citizenship Unconstitutional
Caption: Appeals Court Rules Trump’s Effort to End Birthright Citizenship Unconstitutional. A federal appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. The decision from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that blocked the enforcement of Trump’s policy nationwide. This decision comes after a similar ruling from a federal judge in New Hampshire, blocking the order. The ruling prevents Trump from denying citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. The majority opinion in the case affirmed the district court’s decision that Trump’s interpretation of the 14th Amendment was unconstitutional. The 9th Circuit’s decision may lead to the issue being quickly brought before the Supreme Court for further resolution. The majority emphasized that the case required nationwide relief due to the widespread impact of birthright citizenship laws. Judge Patrick Bumatay dissented, arguing that the states didn’t have the legal standing to sue for nationwide relief. The case revolves around the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to all born in the U.S., including children of non-citizens.
