A new debate over citizenship rights is gaining momentum in America — the federal court of New Hampshire has blocked US President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting automatic citizenship for those born in the country. This decision was made following a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union, and the order was deemed unlawful.
According to this order, if the mother of a child born in the USA was temporarily in the country and the father at the time of birth was neither a US citizen nor a permanent resident, the child would be denied automatic citizenship. This document, called “Protecting the Meaning and Dignity of American Citizenship,” was signed by President Trump on January 20, 2025. It was expected that this historic order would lead to a review of the citizenship status of many children born in America.
It should be noted that on June 29, the US Supreme Court ruled that federal courts do not have the authority to completely block the enforcement of such an order across the country. At the same time, blocks may be enforced at the level of individual states, but on a nationwide scale, the decision does not take effect.
Among lawyers and the public, serious debates on this issue continue. Some view this order as contrary to the US Constitution, while others consider it an important step to preserve the dignity of American citizenship.
In any case, this order by Trump and its court blocking may mark the beginning of a new era in American concepts of citizenship, legislation, and human rights. Time will tell how debates about birthright citizenship in America will be resolved and how these decisions will affect future political processes.
New decisions and court hearings are expected to determine the main directions for the future of American citizenship. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
