The Supreme Court previously rejected Trump's initial attempt to end birthright citizenship in a 7-2 decision on June 30. In response, Trump signed two new executive orders last week targeting children of foreign diplomats and so-called 'birth tourism,' where individuals travel to the U.S. to give birth and guarantee citizenship for their baby.
The ACLU's court filing argues that Trump is improperly attempting to evade the Supreme Court's ruling. The groups are asking the judge to clarify that Trump's latest orders do not threaten the citizenship of children protected by an earlier injunction, as reported by The Guardian and UPI.
A White House spokesperson said: 'The Trump administration has always followed court orders. All actions taken by the president since the recent Supreme Court rulings are consistent with the holdings and analysis set forth by the court,' according to The Guardian. Norm Eisen, a former White House ethics czar and co-founder of the Democracy Defenders Fund, told Daily Mail: 'We’ve seen this strategy from this administration before, and the courts have repeatedly made it clear that the 14th Amendment cannot be rewritten by executive fiat.'
