The lawsuits allege that a Trump executive order signed Monday violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which gives a constitutional right of citizenship to all children born in the United States.
Despite a Presidents broad powers to set immigration policy, however, the Citizenship Stripping Order falls far outside the legal bounds of the Presidents authority, states a lawsuit from 18 states, Washington, DC, and San Francisco......
Also Tuesday, the attorneys general of Washington, Arizona, Oregon and Illinois brought their own lawsuit on the west coast. It was filed at a federal court in Seattle that is within the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, a traditionally left-leaning court that has become less liberal in recent years.
Both suits are also seeking a preliminary order blocking the policy before the Trump administration can take steps to implement it.
Similar lawsuits targeting Trumps order were brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and immigration rights groups on Monday.

(8,282 posts)he believes anything he says to be true. He is a psychopathic liar whose sense of "real" resides in his completely delusional world view.
I understand individual people being gulled by him. I do not understand how the press at large or serious GOP pols accepted his remarks (except in the context of his personal influence on the party) as meaningful.
He's not just mean, or vain, or paranoid, or racist. He's literally not on this planet. It is worse than useless to discuss him as anything else.

If you go to the website, and click the link to download the .PDF, you will find the following map (only the pink countries have unconditional birthright citizenship):
Following the map, there is a table that lists which countries do and do not have unconditional birthright citizenship at birth. Here's the list above, with the countries that have unconditional birthright citizenship:
I would note: not a single European country.
