Deep dives

Legal Setback for Immigration Policy

A federal judge issued a two-week restraining order blocking President Trump's plan to end automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants. This decision hinges on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the country. Trump criticized the ruling, stating that the judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, is predictable in his decisions and expressed intent to challenge the order. Approximately 153,000 children born to undocumented parents each year may be affected by this legislation if it were to be enacted.
