Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship would overturn more than a century of precedent

President Donald Trump issued an executive order to end birthright citizenship, challenging over a century of legal precedent, but a federal judge temporarily blocked it after 22 states filed a legal challenge.
The Justice Department used Native American citizenship status as a legal analogy to support Trump's order in court, referencing an 1884 case.
Trump's order could expand immigration arrests in sensitive locations like schools, raising concerns in New Mexico, where citizenship was granted to residents of Mexican descent in 1848.
Critics, including professors and community leaders, argue that Trump's order reflects xenophobia and could affect all immigrants, regardless of their legal status.
