The executive order of President Donald Trump, termination of birth citizenship for the children of some immigrants, may enter into force at least in some states, following a decision of the US Supreme Court, which weakened the power of the smaller courts to issue orders across the country.
For parents of immigrants expecting babies, the solution will unleash the demand for more information whether the order applies to their future children and eventually rush to avoid order in countries where it cannot enter into force.
While the challenges facing the enforcement order move through the courts, the administration will only be blocked by the implementation of their order against a larger group of people potentially affected. The Supreme Court ordered the lower courts to “quickly” review that the plaintiffs would be covered by higher orders.
Signed hours after he took office, the enforcement order was quickly blocked by numerous judges from the lower federal court, who have accepted that the order probably violated the US Constitution. For more than 150 years, the 14th amendment has guaranteed the citizenship of birth, stating that “all persons born” in the United States, “are citizens of the United States and of the country in which they reside.”
The administration asked the Supreme Court to weigh the case – not on the enforcement order directly, but rather on the national orders that want to block it. The administration claims that these commandments give too much power to a judge at the expense of presidential power.
In a decision 6-3 to group three cases, Trump v. Casa, Inc., Trump vs Washington and Trump against New Jersey, a conservative coalition, ruled that “Federal courts do not exercise general supervision of the enforcement branch.”
The Order of “Protection of the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship” will exclude two categories of babies from US citizenship: babies born to a mother who is illegal in the country and a father who is not a citizen or permanent resident and babies born to a mother who is authorized to be in the country for a temporary period and a father who is not a nationality and a father who is not a father who is not a father who is not a father who is not a father who is not a nationality and a father who is not a nationality and a father who is not a nationality and a father who is not a father who is not a nationality and a father who is not a nationality and a father who is not a nationality and a father who is not a nationality and a father who is not a permanent and father who is not a permanent father.
The last group includes people in the United States with work, student or tourist visa. It is unclear how it would be applied to LGBTQ+ couples or single mothers. The order directs federal agencies to deprive these newborn babies of legal documents such as social security cards and US passports issued.
Trump’s attempt to terminate first -born citizenship may leave an unbroken number of newborn babies in legally limbs, while one or both of their parents, including newborn women after birth, face the threat of sudden detention and deportation.
General attorneys and organizations that challenge the executive order say last month that a decision in favor of the administration will cause innumerable harm to the children of immigrants born on American soil, their families and wider immigrant communities. They also claim that this will lead to chaos for countries trying to provide services to newborn children born in the legitimate limbs.
Jeremy Feigaum, New Jersey’s General Lawyer, told the court that the state would be burdened by having to check the citizenship of babies who were denied citizenship in one country and then move to New Jersey or other countries who dispute the order. The result will be “chaos on the ground” as “the citizenship of humans involves and excludes when you cross state lines.”
“What Trump and the Administration are trying to do is entirely our communities and our families from this country. They want to deny the citizenship of children born here – our children, our babies – just because their parents are immigrants,” says FRipong, Casa, one of the immigrant advocates.
“I am afraid of our future son and families like ours, who may need to navigate a world where their children are rejected by the country they were born and called at home. But I pray that this will not be the case,” said one of the plaintiffs, who expects an immigrant of Venezwell. “We have sought freedom in the United States because we believe in this great country and believe in the US Constitution on which it is built.”
