Trump Signs Controversial Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship

In a significant move, President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, a policy protected under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The order has sparked controversy and led to multiple lawsuits from civil rights groups and the ACLU, who argue that the president cannot unilaterally revoke citizenship rights. Experts have weighed in, suggesting that such an action may face legal challenges, and that previous attempts to alter birthright citizenship have not succeeded. Despite the backlash, Trump continues to push for immigration reform, seeking to shift policy regarding children of illegal immigrants and refugee admissions.
