Just hours after being sworn in as the 47th president, Donald Trump
announced plans to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented
immigrants. This controversial executive order was blocked by a
District Court Judge in Seattle, who called it “blatantly unconstitutional,
” Trump has quickly reversed numerous policies from his predecessor, Joe Biden,
and introduced new measures, including declaring “only two genders” and revoking
the 1965 Equal Employment Opportunity Act. His immigration plans, announced during
his inauguration, aim to halt illegal entry and deport “criminal aliens.”
The blocked order would have ended automatic U.S. citizenship for children born
to undocumented parents, a principle protected by the 14th Amendment.
The administration plans to defend the order in court despite legal challenges.
