On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14160, titled “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship,” aiming to end birthright citizenship for children born to non-citizen or non-permanent resident parents.

However, this executive order has been challenged in multiple federal courts. Notably, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit recently rejected the administration’s emergency bid to curtail birthright citizenship, upholding lower court injunctions that block the order’s implementation.

Legal experts argue that the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. The administration has appealed these rulings, and the matter may ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
