Donald Trump Tries To Kill Birthright Citizenship With Executive Order
www.huffpost.com
"We think we have really good grounds," the president said of the order that is certain to prompt immediate legal challenges.

Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order to challenge birthright citizenship, targeting children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S.

The order argues against the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship for those born on U.S. soil.

It bars federal agencies from recognizing birthright citizenship and imposes a 30-day waiting period for enforcement.

The order is expected to face significant legal challenges, with critics calling it unconstitutional.
