The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the DOJ's request to enforce President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship, which contradicts established legal precedent. Trump’s order claims that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee citizenship to every person born in the U.S. This claim has been met with opposition from various attorneys general and has already faced rejection from a federal judge, highlighting the robust legal challenges against the administration’s efforts to alter constitutional interpretations.
No court in the country has ever endorsed the president's interpretation in the past 125 years, the judge stated.
The rule of law is, according to [Trump], something to navigate around or something ignored, whether that be for political or personal gain.
In this courtroom and under my watch the rule of law is a bright beacon, which I intend to follow.
Trump's order asserts that the 14th Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States.
