Summary
The New York Immigration Coalition, Rural and Migrant Ministry, and three expectant immigrant mothers living in the country without citizenship have filed a class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging President Trump's Executive Order 14160. This executive order denies birthright citizenship to infants born in the U.S., whose parents are not citizens or lawful permanent residents. The plaintiffs argue that this order directly violates the citizenship clause and the equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment and should to be declared unconstitutional and unenforceable.
