President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday aiming to end birthright citizenship in the United States. This move has sparked legal challenges from civil and immigration rights groups who are contesting the executive action.
Despite the executive order, Tom Jawetz, a senior fellow at the Immigration Policy at American Progress, expressed skepticism about its potential impact on birthright citizenship. Jawetz emphasized that the core principle of the 14th Amendment, which grants birthright citizenship, is widely supported by legal scholars and is unlikely to be overturned.
