Families fear next steps in birthright case
Families say the case could strip citizenship from millions of U.S.-born children and force courts to decide whether birthright applies.
- President Trump is pushing to revoke birthright citizenship through an executive order that would affect children born in the U.S. to parents lacking legal status.
- The Constitution's citizenship clause has historically guaranteed status to everyone born on U.S. soil, a precedent reinforced by the Supreme Court ruling in the Wong Kim Ark case.
- Ana Temu Otting, whose 5-year-old son David is a U.S. citizen, worries the policy could upend the lives of millions of U.S.-born children.
- Legal experts warn such an order could trigger a constitutional crisis, potentially allowing the President or Congress to strip citizenship from adults born in the United States.
- The Supreme Court is currently considering whether to allow the executive order, casting doubt on a legal standard that millions previously believed was settled.
