ACLU, others urge judge to block Trump's latest birthright citizenship orders
The civil rights group says the order would unlawfully deny citizenship to children covered by an existing class-action case.
- On Tuesday, The American Civil Liberties Union launched a legal challenge in the U.S. District Court in New Hampshire, seeking to block President Trump's new executive order restricting birthright citizenship.
- Issued last Thursday, the administration's directive restricts the State Department from issuing citizenship documents to children born to foreign government employees, lobbyists, or members of terrorist organizations.
- Rather than filing a new lawsuit, the ACLU asked the trial judge from the original class-action case to intervene, citing the Supreme Court's June ruling that deemed the prior order unconstitutional.
- Lead counsel Cody Wofsy stated birthright citizenship remains a constitutional right, calling the administration's attempt to bypass the Supreme Court 'beside the point' in a statement.
- While President Trump argues the new order aligns with narrow constitutional exceptions and will withstand scrutiny, The Justice Department has not yet responded to the ACLU's legal challenge.
