President Donald Trump’s executive order, which terminates the citizenship of the birth of some immigrant children, may enter into force at least in some states, after the US Supreme Court ruling, which has weakened the power of the lower courts throughout the country.
Parents waiting for baby immigrants will announce the crazy information about whether the order is valid for their future children, and perhaps the urgency to prevent order in the states where it cannot take effect.
Although the challenges are moving through the courts through the courts, the administration will be blocked only to execute its order against a narrower group of people, which may be affected. The Supreme Court ordered the lower courts to “promptly” to re -investigate which plaintiffs would be subject to narrower orders.
Signed hours after he took office, the executive order was quickly blocked by several Judges of the Lower Federal Court, who ruled that the order was likely to violate the US Constitution. For more than 150 years, the 14th amendment guarantees “birth law” citizenship claiming that “all persons born in the US” are “US and state citizens where they live”.
The administration asked the Supreme Court to consider the case – not the direct executive order, but in the execution of state orders seeking to block it. The administration stated that these orders give too much power to one judge at the expense of the President’s power.
In a 6-3 decision on three cases, short against CASA, Inc., Trump against Washington and Trump against New Jersey, Conservative Judges’ Coalition, the federal courts did not comply with the executive general care.
The order, the “protection of the meaning and value of American citizenship” would remove two categories of babies from the right to US citizenship: babies born to a mother who is illegally in the country, and a father who is not a citizen or permanent resident, and babies born to a mother authorized to be in the country for some time and a parent who is not US citizens.
The latter group includes people from the US, working, student or tourist visas. It is unclear how this would apply to LGBTQ+ couples or single moms. This order shall refer to federal agencies deprived of these newborn legal documents such as social insurance cards and US passports.
Trump’s attempt to terminate Birthright citizenship could leave an indescribable number of newborns in the legal ending, and one or both of their parents, including a new postpartum, face the threat of sudden detention and deportation.
General lawyers and organizations disputed an executive order said last month that the decision would commit indispensable damage to immigrants born in the US land, their families and broader immigrants communities. They also argued that this would cause chaos to the states trying to provide services to newborns born legally.
Jeremy Feigenbaum, a new Jersey lawyer, told the court that it would be difficult for the state if it would have to check baby citizenship not granted citizenship in one state and then move to the new Jersey or any of the 22 countries arguing. The result would be “chaos on the ground” because “people’s citizenship turns on and shuts down when you cross state lines.”
“What the short and administration is trying to do is completely delete our communities and our families from this country. They want to deny the citizenship of children born here – our children, our babies – simply because their parents are immigrants,” said Am Frimpong, CASA Legal Director, one of the immigrants’ law groups.
“I am afraid of our future son and families like ours, who may need to browse the world where their children reject the country where they are born and that they call their homes. But I pray that it will not be,” said one of the plaintiffs, Venezuela’s immigrant, who asked to be identified as Monica only. “We were looking for freedom in the US because we believe in this big country and believe it was created.”
The post of some immigrants in Trump’s policy aimed at terminating the citizenship of birth may enter into force on the first 19th.
