Trump’s Executive Order

The news as it trends

President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order to restrict birthright citizenship is set to begin enforcement on July 27, 2025, sparking legal chaos and emotional unrest across the country.

Although the order is not a law passed by Congress, the administration is moving forward with implementation, despite widespread criticism from legal scholars who argue it directly contradicts the 14th Amendment.

Signed on January 20, 2025, the order denies U.S. citizenship to children born on American soil after February 19 if their mother is undocumented or on a temporary visa and the father is not a U.S. citizen or green card holder.

The Supreme Court has not ruled on the constitutionality of the order but recently limited the ability of lower courts to block it nationwide.

As a result, enforcement will begin in states that have not filed legal challenges, while others like Washington and Oregon have temporarily halted it through ongoing lawsuits.

The uncertainty has left many families in limbo.

New mothers and immigrant advocates have filed petitions, calling the policy discriminatory and unconstitutional.

With the enforcement date looming, the nation faces a patchwork of rules — and a growing wave of fear and resistance.
