Can Trump revoke birthright citizenship?

excerpt:

Immigration hardliners argue that the policy is a "great magnet for illegal immigration", and that it encourages undocumented pregnant women to cross the border in order to give birth, an act that has been pejoratively called "birth tourism" or having an "anchor baby".

 

Trump tries to end birthright citizenship.


Can Trump revoke birthright citizenship?

excerpt:

In 1898, the US Supreme Court affirmed that birthright citizenship applies to the children of immigrants in the case of Wong Kim Ark v United States.

Wong was a 24-year-old child of Chinese immigrants who was born in the US, but denied re-entry when he returned from a visit to China. Wong successfully argued that because he was born in the US, his parents' immigration status did not affect the application of the 14th Amendment.

"Wong Kim Ark vs United States affirmed that regardless of race or the immigration status of one's parents, all persons born in the United States were entitled to all of the rights that citizenship offered," writes Erika Lee, director of the Immigration History Research Center at the University of Minnesota. "The court has not re-examined this issue since then."

excerpt:

"Kennedy has also aligned himself with businesses and organizations that promote falsehoods, getting rich as a result. He has claimed that his time at the helm of Children’s Health Defense was “unpaid” and “the opposite of a profit motive.” But in financial disclosure forms filed in connection with his presidential campaign, he reported having earned $515,960 in 2022 and $215,511 in 2023. And the Daily Beast found that Kennedy failed to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional earnings from the nonprofit, posting documents that showed he collected a total of $1.2 million. He later amended the forms.

In subsequent meetings with lawmakers following his nomination, many on both sides of the aisle have cited his positions on key issues as reason for either hesitation or outright disapproval."

Judge blocks release of Jack Smith's report on Trump documents case to lawmakers

"In a scathing rebuke of the Justice Department's proposal, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said in a 14-page order she is granting a request from Mr. Trump's co-defendants to keep the report from the heads of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. Walt Nauta, an aide to Mr. Trump, and Carlos de Oliveira, the former property manager at Mar-a-Lago, asked Cannon to block its release earlier this month.

"Never before has the Department of Justice, prior to the conclusion of criminal proceedings against a defendant — and absent a litigation-specific reason as appropriate in the case itself — sought to disclose outside the Department a report prepared by a Special Counsel containing substantive and voluminous case information. Until now," she wrote on Tuesday."

About the only worse thing that could have happened is if Trump had preemptively pardoned all his rioters before he left office in January 2021. He reportedly was considering such a move.

 

But Trump blames his riot on the police who he says tricked the rioters by letting them into the Capitol and then starting a fight with them once they were inside.
