Donald Trump was elected president just over a month ago, and even though he’s not in office yet, the horrors have already started. He’s threatening to halt birthright citizenship via executive action.
This week, Jess and Imani get into the history of birthright citizenship, what could happen if Trump manages to wipe it out, and how, even though people have declared he can’t upend more than a century of precedent, his cronies on the Supreme Court may help him do just that.
