U.S. President Donald Trump has said since his first administration that he wants to end birthright citizenship, a constitutional right for everyone born in the United States.

"It'll get to the U.S. Supreme Court, and if the court follows the actual legislative intent and history, they will uphold what Donald Trump has done," expert says

The Trump administration’s campaign to abolish birthright citizenship is not going well. Less than 72 hours after Trump issued an executive order on federal recognition of the constitutional principle, a federal judge in Washington blocked it from taking effect. That judge had harsh words for the lawyers defending the order in court.
