Washington – The Supreme Court from the United States on Thursday for May 15 a view on the decree of the president Donald Trump To abolish the citizenship by birth right in the United States.
On March 13, the Trump administration asked the highest court to intervene in the legal battle and suspend the decisions of lower cuts.
On January 20, the day of his investiture, Donald Trump signed the decree. The executive disposition that seeks to end citizens by birth for the children of migrants who are illegally in the United States has been arrested nationally by three district courts throughout the country. The Courts of Appeals have refused to alter those rulings. Now it is up to the Supreme Court on the subject.
The Supreme Court gave the adverse parties for three weeks to respond to the appeal and this Thursday set a hearing for May 15.
At the moment he rejected the suspension request submitted by the Government against the Federal Appeal Courts failures.
Petition to the Supreme
The principle of citizenship by birth right is enshrined in the 14th amendment of the Constitution of the United States, which has been in force for more than 150 years and determines that any person born on US land is a citizen, an interpretation that the new administration in the White House considers wrong.
But the Executive affirms that the children of non -citizens who are illegally in the country are not “Subject to jurisdiction” from the United States, a phrase used in the amendment, and therefore have no right to citizens.
Trump’s decree was challenged in the courts and its application was suspended throughout the country.
That is why the Government asked the Supreme Court to limit the scope of the lower cuts just to those affected, that is, those who have taken legal actions.
“Epidemic”
Denounces an “epidemic” of suspensions nationwide issued by the courts since the beginning of the second Trump mandate that seeks to block the executive’s powers.
The Department of Justice argues that individual judges lack power to give national effect to their failures.
At least, the Executive asks the Supreme Court to allow federal agencies to issue guidelines to implement the presidential executive order.
The decree prohibits the federal government from issuing passports, citizenship certificates or other documents to children whose mother is in the United States illegally or temporarily and whose father is not American or permanent resident, that is, holder of the famous green card (“Green Card”).
Children whose parents are temporarily residing in the United States with a student, work or tourist visa are also affected.
“Very misunderstood”
“I think the case has been very misunderstood” because “it is about slavery,” Trump said in the oval office.
It seems to refer to the fact that the 14th amendment was approved after the civil war and the abolition of slavery, to guarantee the rights of free slaves and their descendants.
Now “People enter our country and suddenly becomes citizensand pay a lot of money to different cartels “drug trafficking to get it,” Trump protested, who is confident of “winning” the case.
The Department of Justice interpreted the announcement of the Supreme Court as a “Key victory for the popular migratory agenda of President Trump”.
And that the highest court, of conservative majority, rejected the suspension request filed by the Government against federal appeal cuts.
The Government asks the Supreme Court to limit the scope of the lower cuts just to those affected, that is, to those who have taken legal actions.
At least, the Executive asks the Supreme Court to allow federal agencies to issue guidelines to implement the presidential executive order.
