US Supreme Court's decision in favor of Trump, now what will happen next for birthright citizenship in the US? Many questions arise

News Topical, Digital Desk : On his first day in office, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to end birthright citizenship, which grants citizenship to all children born in the US. This right has been enshrined in the Constitution for 160 years.

Lawsuits were filed challenging the order, and judges in several states issued injunctions to block it. Recently, the Supreme Court decided in favor of the Trump administration, clearing the way for the order to go into effect.

Many questions arose after the decision of the US Supreme Court

This raises many questions such as whether children of immigrants living illegally in some states will have the right to citizenship? Can the children of such parents be deported? Cases were filed against the birthright citizenship order in 22 states, where there are Democratic governments.

Discussion continues on the possible impact of the decision

In contrast, in 28 states where the order was not challenged, children of illegal immigrants can be deprived of US citizenship. Let us tell you that many immigrant rights groups have demanded an emergency stay against this order. Discussion is going on about the possible effects of this decision.

Now uncertainty spreads about the next step

Let us tell you that the US Supreme Court judges sent the cases challenging the birthright citizenship policy back to the lower courts. As per the Supreme Court's order, the lower courts will have to decide how to prepare their orders to comply with the new decision.

The executive order is blocked for at least 30 days. This gives lower courts and the parties time to sort out next steps.

The US Supreme Court's decision in the case is believed to have left open the possibility that groups challenging the policy could still seek nationwide relief through class action lawsuits. Just hours after the decision, two class action lawsuits were filed in Maryland and New Hampshire to block Trump's order.

Opponents have given this warning

At the same time, opponents of President Donald Trump's order warned that it would create a confusion of policies in the states, leading to chaos and confusion without nationwide relief.

Let us tell you that Krish O'Mara Vignarajah, president and CEO of Global Refuge, a non-profit organization that supports refugees and immigrants in the US, said that birthright citizenship has been constitutional law for more than a century. He says that by depriving the lower courts of the ability to apply that right equally, the court has invited chaos, inequality and fear.
