Summary

Trump’s EO 14160 seeks to end birthright citizenship for people who are “not subject to the jurisdiction thereof” per the Fourteenth Amendment.

Plaintiffs claim that EO 14160 violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, 8 U.S.C. § 1401(a), and the APA. Plaintiffs request that the EO be declared unconstitutional and that it be preliminarily and permanently enjoined.
