WASHINGTON – The day after President Donald Trump signed numerous immigration-related executive orders, immigration researchers told a briefing Tuesday that they would like to end birthright citizenship, with the exception of Asylum and others. He said he is scrutinizing the legal implications of movement and sweep instructions.
tHe was sued by the ACLU and immigration rights groups. The Trump administration in the US District Court for the New Hampshire area shortly after Trump signed the birthright citizenship order. On Tuesday, 18 state attorney generals also sued the order in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

other Presidential Order Trump declared a national emergency on the southern border Monday night, ending his asylum and reviving some harsh immigration policies from his first term.
“The executive order does not change the fact that US law provides for access to asylum. I think this will be prominently covered in what is expected to be a prompt litigation for these measures. ” said Kathleen Bush Joseph, an attorney at the Institute of Immigration Policy. A think tank that researches transitions and promotes press briefing.
Trump Order allows enforcement in churches and schools
Additionally, the Trump administration has already issued new directives for immigration enforcement.
Acting Director of Homeland Security Benjamin Huffman issued two orders Monday. Those who retract Biden-era guidelines on immigration and customs enforcement and customs and border security that limit limited enforcement in so-called “sensitive” areas such as worship services, schools, medical facilities, relief centers, and social service centers are others. Even within the field of
“The Trump administration doesn’t tie our brave law enforcement hands and instead trusts them to use common sense,” DHS said in a statement.
Other directives reduce the use of humanitarian parole and “return the program on a case-by-case basis.” The Biden administration used the authority of Ukraine, Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Within hours of Trump’s inauguration, a popular app where immigrants had booked with asylum officers known as CBP One was shut down and all future appointments were cancelled. The ACLU has already sued that.
Babies and citizenship
But it was an order on birthright citizenship that immediately attracted multiple legal challenges.
The executive order states that the federal government will not recognize or issue citizenship documents to children born to parents in the country after February 19 without proper permission, or that parents will be in the United States on a temporary visa. It may be a non-citizen or green card holder for other parents.
Basement citizenship was the right obsession with the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, and was upheld in a 1898 US Supreme Court case.
It’s roughly 5.5 million US children born to at least one parent who is an undocumented immigrant, and 1.8 million US-born children with two undocumented parents.
“If that’s not clear yet, I think it’s an operational challenge to make this interpretation live,” said Muzafa Chishti, senior fellow and director at the Institute of Migration Policy at the New York University School of Law. I said that. At the briefing.
He argued that the executive order would apply to children born in the United States after it was enacted and that everyone’s documents must be checked in hospitals.
“We cannot limit ourselves to those who think they are illegally in the country,” Chishti said.
Large expulsion
Trump, who campaigned to carry out a massive deportation of people around the country without proper approval, made little mention of his promise in his inauguration speech and other statements on Monday.
But his executive order indicates that initiative, said Doris Meissner, director of US immigration policy at the Institute for Immigration Policy.
“The scope of the executive orders relating to rapid removal, increased detention capacity and information sharing with local law enforcement agencies all speaks about the issue of the deportation initiative,” Meissner said.
However, she added that several executive orders have been signed, and the bill likely to be signed to sign Trump’s desk by using vast resources to prevent deportation logistics. added that it could undermine those efforts.
For example, one executive order ends a policy called “catch and release.” That policy allows immigrants who are detained from living in U.S. communities while immigration judges wait for an asylum lawsuit.
The bill is heading for final passageS. 5 calls for forced detention against immigrants accused or accused of property crimes, injuries or deaths of US citizens, and attacks by law enforcement officers.
“Both require a considerable amount of detention capacity to enforce them,” Meissner said. “So, we see obstacles, constraints, but we also have high chances of seeing fear and uncertainty that are already increasing, and we are also likely to see an ever-increasing, continuous threat.”
