The American Civil Liberties Union and migrant rights groups have filed a legal challenge against President Donald Trump’s latest executive order restricting birthright citizenship. The court filing asks a New Hampshire federal judge to declare the order illegal, arguing it violates an existing injunction that blocks the administration from denying citizenship to children born in the US to non-citizen parents. Trump signed two executive orders last week targeting children of certain foreign diplomats and people entering the US for so-called birth tourism. The challenge comes months after the Supreme Court rejected his earlier, broader attempt to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented migrants. Lawyers argue the new orders try to bypass that ruling.
