The Federal Appeals Court in the United States has ruled unconstitutional and annulled President Donald Trump's executive order aimed at limiting the citizenship rights of children born in the U.S. The decision is considered a historic precedent in terms of immigrant rights.
The Federal Appeals Court in Boston announced its decision regarding President Trump's executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship.
The court ruled that the Trump administration cannot deny citizenship rights to children born in the country to individuals who are undocumented or have temporary status.
BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP IN THE U.S.
The right to birthright citizenship, guaranteed by the Constitution in 1868, stands out as one of the cornerstones of the country's immigration and citizenship policies.
TRUMP SIGNED IT AS SOON AS HE TOOK OFFICE
U.S. President Trump signed the executive order that eliminated the provision allowing children born in the country to automatically receive citizenship on January 20, the day he took office.
The order stipulates that a child born in the U.S. to a mother who is undocumented cannot guarantee citizenship by birthright unless the father is a citizen or a green card holder.
On January 21, the attorneys general of 22 states filed a lawsuit against the order. Many federal judges in the country ruled that Trump's decision was "unconstitutional."
