That court order currently bars the administration from denying the status to babies whose mothers have temporary visas or who are undocumented migrants in the US illegally.The American Civil Liberties Union and other immigration advocacy groups filed the challenge to Trump’s new executive action before a New Hampshire federal judge, who had approved that case as a class action. “If the president issues 100 orders seeking to create new exceptions to the sacred guarantee of the Citizenship Clause, all 100 will be equally illegal,” the lawyers wrote. “The court should make clear that defendants may not take away class members’ birthright under the auspices of these or any other executive actions.“Bloomberg Source link Post Views: 12 Post navigation From fast fashion to fast repairs: Clothing brands push in-store mending to draw GenZ Who was Chandler David Hendry?
