US EditionFederal Appeals Court Rules Trump Administration Can't End Birthright Citizenship
- On Friday, a unanimous decision by a three-judge group from the federal appellate court based in Boston determined that the Republican president lacks authority to implement his executive order terminating automatic birthright citizenship.
- This decision followed rejections over the past month by four other federal courts that blocked the order nationwide due to conflicts with the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause.
- Ratified in 1868, the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to everyone who acquires it at birth by being born within the United States’ jurisdiction or through naturalization, a principle affirmed by a significant Supreme Court decision in 1898.
- Abigail Jackson, the White House spokesperson, stated that enforcing the order would require verifying the citizenship or immigration status of parents and criticized the 1st Circuit’s interpretation of the 14th Amendment as incorrect.
- The Trump administration has petitioned the Supreme Court to review the matter, which is expected to provide the definitive ruling on birthright citizenship amid ongoing legal and constitutional disputes.
