The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a class action lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of President Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship for children born on US soil to non-citizen parents. This move comes as groups opposed to the order attempt to find new ways to block its implementation.
In 2020, Trump signed an executive order restricting birthright citizenship, which has been met with opposition from civil rights groups and others who argue that it is unconstitutional. The ACLU’s class action lawsuit aims to bypass a Supreme Court decision that initially upheld the ban.
The exact details of the ACLU’s strategy are not yet clear, but this move suggests that the organization will continue to push back against the executive order through the courts.
