In a significant blow to President Trump’s administration, a federal appeals court has ruled that his executive order curtailing birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued the decision on Wednesday, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal battle over immigration policies.
The ruling comes after a series of legal challenges to Trump’s efforts to end birthright citizenship, which grants automatic citizenship to children born in the United States, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. The court’s decision aligns with previous rulings that have found the president’s actions in this regard to be unconstitutional.
According to CBS News, the appeals court’s ruling stated that Trump’s executive order violates the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the country. The court’s decision reaffirms the principle of birthright citizenship as a fundamental right enshrined in the Constitution.
This latest ruling follows a similar decision by another federal appeals court, further solidifying the legal consensus against Trump’s attempts to restrict birthright citizenship. The Hill reports that the Supreme Court had previously ruled against the administration’s efforts in this area, leading to nationwide blocks on the executive order.
Critics of Trump’s immigration policies have hailed the appeals court’s decision as a victory for constitutional rights and the rule of law. They argue that birthright citizenship is a foundational principle of American identity and should not be subject to arbitrary changes through executive orders.
On the other hand, supporters of the president’s stance on immigration have expressed disappointment with the court’s ruling, viewing it as an impediment to efforts to reform the country’s immigration system. They contend that birthright citizenship incentivizes illegal immigration and should be reevaluated to address perceived loopholes in the law.
Overall, the appeals court’s decision represents a significant development in the ongoing debate over immigration policy in the United States. As the legal battle over birthright citizenship continues, the implications of this ruling are likely to reverberate across the political landscape.
