birthright

California filed its first lawsuit, over Trump’s order to rescind birthright citizenship, on Jan. 21, the day after Trump was inaugurated.

Trump is attempting to deny birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, to babies born to parents who aren’t citizens or lawful permanent residents.

Judge James Ho stood out among conservative judges for his uncompromising support for birthright citizenship.

“That sense of freedom and play is kind of our birthright. It’s innate to us,” he said.

It focused on birthright citizenship and defined it in ways that would not be recognizable to those who included it in the Constitution’s 14th amendment.
