💨 Abstract

The Trump administration announced it will not begin enforcing a recent executive order to end birthright citizenship until July 27, pending Supreme Court guidelines. This order aims to deny citizenship to children born to undocumented or temporary residents and has been praised by Trump. However, several federal judges have ruled against the order, labeling it unconstitutional. The 14th Amendment has historically granted citizenship to all born in the U.S., a tenant the order would contradict.
