Trump officials cite white supremacists in bid to end birthright citizenship - The Washington Post

Trump administration officials have cited white supremacist arguments in legal filings supporting efforts to end birthright citizenship, according to The Washington Post. The administration is pursuing this through executive action and legal challenges, seeking to restrict automatic citizenship granted to children born on U.S. soil under the 14th Amendment. The strategy relies on fringe legal interpretations that have historically been associated with white nationalist movements. Ending birthright citizenship would represent a dramatic shift in immigration policy and constitutional interpretation, affecting millions of people born in the United States. The approach signals how far the administration is willing to reach into fringe ideological arguments to reshape citizenship law.
