Summary
A third federal judge, Joseph N. Laplante, blocked Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.
His ruling follows similar decisions from judges in Seattle and Maryland.
The lawsuits, led by the ACLU, argue Trump’s order violates the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to nearly all born on U.S. soil.
The Trump administration contends such children are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. Legal battles continue, with appeals underway and further rulings expected in other courts.
No. According to legal eagle it applies to diplomats living in the US but not living under US jurisdiction.
Oh, and also enemy combatants. Which is probably what Trump will claim immigrants are in his bizzaro world justification…
This is effectively already what Texas has tried to claim…
Yeah - it’s just a matter of time before they’re claiming that immigrants aren’t even human.
