“The incoming Trump administration may be preparing to deny citizenship rights to children of undocumented immigrants born in the United States. That’s according to recent reporting, a statement on Nov. 11 by a presidential transition member helping develop the new administration’s plans for the Justice Department, and a ‘Day One’ video made by President-elect Trump during the campaign (incoming border czar Tom Homan also supports ending birthright citizenship). According to the New York Times, ‘the team plans to stop issuing citizenship-affirming documents, like passports and Social Security cards, to infants born on domestic soil to undocumented migrant parents in a bid to end birthright citizenship.’ Such policies would be a blatant violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, both the text and the original meaning.” (11/25/24)
