Details: The judge noted that Trump’s decree contradicts the 14th amendment to the US Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to all persons born in the country. She emphasized that “citizenship is the most valuable right, directly granted the 14th amendment to the Constitution.”
The decree “contradicts a clear statement of the 14th amendment, contradicts the 125-year legal precedent of the Supreme Court and goes against the 250-year history of citizenship by birth,”-said Judge Bordman during the hearing on February 5.
“No court in the country has never approved the interpretation of the President. This court will not be the first,” the judge said.
The claim was filed by five pregnant women and two human rights organizations on immigrants who claimed that their future children could be illegally deprived of citizenship because of their parents’ immigration status.
Earlier, another federal judge in Seattle temporarily blocked this decree, but his decision had a limited period. Judge Bordman’s decision provides a federal prohibition on the execution of the decree before completing the full legal consideration of the case.
Reference: “Trump’s decree, signed at the beginning of its second term, provided for refusal to recognize citizenship for children born in the United States from parents who are in the country illegally or have a temporary status.
The Trump administration claims that non -citizens are not subject to US jurisdiction and therefore are not entitled to citizenship. However, the 14th amendment, ratified in 1868, was aimed at providing citizenship for the former slaves and their descendants, and since then guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the US. ”
