States sue to block Trump birthright citizenship order

Attorneys general from 22 states sue to block President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship, arguing the 14th Amendment makes U S born children citizens regardless of parents status. White House says the lawsuits are political. Supporters say birthright citizenship is settled law and jus soli is enshrined, while Trump critics warn of harm to American families. The debate centers on citizenship rights for children born in the United States to noncitizen parents.
