California's civil rights organizations are mounting a legal challenge against President Trump's executive order to alter birthright citizenship. Organizations like Lawyers for Civil Rights and La Colaborativa filed a lawsuit asserting that the order is unconstitutional. They claim it seeks to strip citizenship from children born to immigrants, especially those affected by temporary status. This order could have significant implications for millions of children by denying them essential rights and protections. Activists assert that citizenship should be determined by birthplace according to the Constitution, rather than the immigration status of parents.
This unprecedented attempt to strip citizenship from millions of Americans with the stroke of a pen is flagrantly illegal. The President does not have the power to decide who becomes a citizen at birth.
This Executive Order is a brutal and unconstitutional attempt to redefine what it means to be an American. The Constitution is clear: birthplace, not parentage, determines citizenship in this country.
