Another Reason Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order is Unlawful

15 May 2025 · 14 min · Episode 114

As the Supreme Court holds oral arguments on Thursday, May 15, Kristin A. Collins, Gerald Neuman and Rachel E. Rosenbloom argue that Executive Order 14160, which denies birthright citizenship to any child born in the United States who does not have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, clearly violates the birthright citizenship federal statute. They note the statute has not received as much public attention, as they discuss the 1940s and 1950s legislative history.
