Pelosi Supports Birthright Citizenship Ruling Against Trump’s Executive Order
Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has responded to a federal judge’s decision to temporarily block President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship.
Pelosi emphasized the constitutional principle that anyone born in America is an American citizen, stating, “If you’re born in America, you’re an American.”
The executive order, issued by President Trump, sought to redefine birthright citizenship, a provision enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The order faced immediate legal challenges, leading to the temporary injunction by a federal judge in Seattle.
Pelosi’s statement underscores the ongoing debate over immigration policies and the interpretation of constitutional rights in the United States.
