SCOTUS will hear arguments on birthright citizenship this week

 

United for Democracy


On the first day of his second term in office, Trump signed an executive order supposedly “denying” birthright citizenship to certain children who were born in the United States to non-citizens. While no president has the authority to revoke birthright citizenship through executive order, this move was the first in a long line of ensuing attacks on immigrant rights and communities across America.

Now, the Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in three cases challenging Trump’s dangerous and undemocratic executive order:

New York TImes Headline: Supreme Court ot Hear Arguments on Trump Plan to End Birthright Citizenship

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, and it’s a bedrock of the promise of America. It guarantees that if you were born on American soil, you’re an American citizen. The plain text of the 14th amendment itself makes this crystal clear.

But legal history and constitutionality haven’t stopped this MAGA Supreme Court from taking away our rights before. If the Roberts Court sides with Trump, they could be on the brink of ripping apart almost 420 years of legal precedent for birthright citizenship.

It’s more important than ever that we make our voices heard and hold this MAGA-corrupted Supreme Court accountable to the people. That’s why we’re coordinating the messaging and rapid response to these oral arguments with thousands of groups and activists across the country.

We’re preparing our Nerve Center messaging to pressure the MAGA Supreme Court to uphold birthright citizenship ahead of oral arguments this week. But we can’t rally supporters without your help. Chip in today to make sure the MAGA justices hear us loud and clear: birthright citizenship is an American right.


Trump’s move to strip the promise of birthright citizenship from Americans is even alarming conservatives. The right-leaning CATO Institute had this to say:

With the law, tradition, common sense, reason, and empirical evidence on the side of maintaining birthright citizenship, we can only hope the courts maintain our exceptional system in its current form.”

It’s unbelievable that a right so entrenched in the promise of America would come before the Supreme Court. But this type of case is exactly why well-funded, right-wing forces spent decades packing the Supreme Court.

They want Trump to dismantle democracy as we know it so they can reshape our country to their liking—and they want the MAGA justices they placed on the Supreme Court to help.

This is why UFD exists. We’ve built a coalition of grassroots groups around the country to sound the alarm and raise the pressure on the MAGA Supreme Court. Every dollar supports our work as the first line of defense to Trump’s attacks on our democracy.

Go, Judge!

 

Go, Judge!

This morning, John Coughenour, a federal judge in Seattle, put an end to Donald Trump’s pretense that he could undo the constitutional right to birthright citizenship. The Judge entered a nationwide injunction, temporarily prohibiting Trump from interfering with citizenship for people born in the United States, regardless of their parents’ citizenship status.

It’s Trump’s first loss in court, only four days into his new administration, and it’s an important one. The issue, also being litigated in other courts, is headed to the Supreme Court. I don’t expect a different result there. That will surprise some of you given how willing this Court has been to put its thumb on the scale of justice in Trump’s favor. But my assessment that Trump will lose isn’t based on a belief that anything has changed at the Court. Rather, it’s based on an understanding of how foundationally anchored birthright citizenship is in the Constitution and the 14th Amendment, particularly given the opinion authored by Justice Scalia that we discussed last night. In other words, it won’t be a sign that our confidence in the Court should be restored when they rule against Trump. The issue is so clear that it will simply be a reflection that there are some bars SCOTUS can’t fall below.

The meaning of the language in the 14th Amendment is plain. It says, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Trump’s DOJ argued that somehow, the children it wants to strip of citizenship aren’t “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. The Judge asked DOJ’s lawyer whether those kids would be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States if they committed a crime. He responded that they were subject to the laws of this country, but not subject to the jurisdiction under the 14th Amendment.

That argument didn’t fly with the Judge, who interrupted to say, “Frankly I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order. It just boggles my mind. Go ahead.” By the end of the hearing, there was little doubt about where the proceedings were headed. “I’d like to go back to your opinion about the constitutionality of this order,” Judge Coughenour said. “I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”

The Judge entered a nationwide temporary injunction that will preserve the status quo and prevent the Trump administration from preparing to deprive people of citizenship, which has thrown systems nationwide into disarray (Trump’s executive order goes into effect on February 19), while the litigation proceeds. Injunctions are used to freeze the status quo in place when the party complaining about a new law can show a substantial chance of success on the merits, and that the harms done if the law is permitted to go into effect will be irreparable. The lawyer for the state attorneys general argued that state residents cross state borders routinely and that an order that only applied to the four states that brought this case wouldn’t fully protect its residents. The lawyer argued that “citizenship does not and cannot turn on state borders.”

The Judge ruled quickly. That’s how clearly wrong the Trump administration is on this issue.

I understand that as court adjourned, a woman in the back of the room yelled, “Go Judge.” She was speaking for all of us.

We’re in this together,

Joyce
