The United States Supreme Court will listen to the topics on the move of President Donald Trump to end the citizenship of the birth right on May 15, the Court announced Thursday.
Trump has issued an executive agenda on his first day in office trying to limit the citizenship of the right of birth for children whose parents are illegally or in temporary visas, but has been blocked in several appeal courts. He appealed to the case to the Supreme Court on March 13th.
The citizenship of the birth right is sanctioned in the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which decrees that anyone who was born on American soil is a citizen. It was one of the numerous amendments issued in the wake of the Civil War to guarantee the rights to the previously slaveized people.
The 14th amendment says, in part: “All people born or naturalized in the United States and subject to their jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States and the state in which they reside”.
Trump’s order was based on the idea that anyone in the United States illegally or on a visa was not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the country, and therefore excluded from this category.
His order had to come into force on February 19, but he had to face multiple causes throughout the country that led the judges to stop him.
The district judge John Coughenour, who listened to the case in the state of Washington, described the executive order of the president as “clearly unconstitutional”.
“I have been on the bench for over four decades, I don’t remember another case in which the question presented is how this is clear,” said Coughenour, who was appointed by a republican president, Ronald Reagan.
The arrest of the citizenship order of Trump’s birth right is only one of the many judicial arrest bars that his administration has faced while hurrying up to controversial immigration and other reforms.
On the adverse court pushed the Administration to Railway against what the activists’ judges calls, with the Chamber of representatives controlled by the Republicans who voted through a bill last week to limit the power of the federal judges to issue injunctions at national level, although the text has almost no possibility of approving the Senate.
