The ACLU seeks to prevent President Trump from bypassing the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship to nearly everyone born in the United States

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to noncitizen parents.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire and several immigrant rights organizations have filed a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump and his administration over his executive order to attempt to change birthright citizenship.

Two dozen Democratic-led states and cities are challenging President Donald Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship in court, a major constitutional challenge to one of the White House’s signature policies.

After being sworn in as president on Monday, Jan. 20, President Donald Trump filed an executive order to terminate birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), along with several other pro-immigrant groups, is suing the Trump administration after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that seeks to end the constitutionally recognized right of birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states in its first sentence that:

Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship would affect 2 members of NH Indonesian Community Support, who are expecting a child in February.
