Families Fight Back Against Supreme Court Ruling That Enables Trump to Undermine the U.S. Constitution.

Families Fight Back Against Supreme Court Ruling That Enables Trump to Undermine the U.S. Constitution.

The news as it trends. 

Just hours after the Supreme Court issued its ruling limiting the scope of nationwide injunctions, a class action lawsuit was filed immediately on June 27, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire.

The lead plaintiff is Barbara, a Honduran national currently seeking asylum in the United States.

She brought the case on behalf of her three U.S.-born children, all of whom face uncertainty under President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14160.

The suit specifically names Trump as the defendant and challenges the constitutionality of the executive order, which attempts to restrict birthright citizenship to only those born to at least one U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

According to the plaintiffs, the order violates the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, which has guaranteed automatic citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil since 1868.

Civil rights groups are backing the lawsuit, alongside other similarly situated families who fear that the executive order will strip their children of citizenship rights that have long been protected under federal law.

Also listed in the case is “next friend Susan,” likely a legal representative appointed to advocate for the children’s interests in court.

Legal scholars are calling this the beginning of a broader constitutional showdown.

In addition to Barbara’s case, multiple states and advocacy groups are mounting their own legal challenges against the executive order.

As of now, no one has officially lost their citizenship due to Executive Order 14160, largely because its enforcement is limited to children born after February 19, 2025, and it remains entangled in legal challenges.

However, the Supreme Court’s June 27 ruling has shifted the landscape.

While courts initially issued nationwide injunctions to block enforcement, the high court determined that such sweeping orders overstep judicial authority.

As a result, the executive order can now be applied against individuals who are not part of an active lawsuit.

This ruling has triggered a wave of legal action as families race to secure protective rulings before the order impacts them.

Barbara’s lawsuit is part of that urgent legal push.

The outcome could determine not just the fate of her family, but the constitutional interpretation of birthright citizenship in modern America.

If successful, it may also inspire other affected families to seek similar protections while the executive order hangs in legal limbo.

Many on social media are expressing alarm, calling this a frightening moment under the Trump administration’s second term.

Critics argue that families are now rushing to the courts with class action lawsuits because the administration is not only attempting to violate the Constitution, but is aggressively working to strip individuals of their rights.

They warn that this could amount to a class war over who gets to be a citizen – despite the Constitution’s clear guarantee that all persons born on U.S. soil are citizens of the United States.
