In a controversial policy shift, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to non-citizen parents. The order has sparked widespread condemnation from immigration advocates, legal scholars, and several state governments, with 22 states filing lawsuits against the administration. Opponents argue that the order violates the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which grants citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil. Supporters of the policy, however, contend that it addresses loopholes in immigration law and aligns with national interests. Legal experts anticipate a protracted court battle that could ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.
