Supreme Court lifts block over Trump’s birthright citizenship order
The Supreme Court decision on 6-3 releases the bloc against President Trump’s order to deny citizenship to undocumented immigrants and babies with visa holders.
Republican Sen. Mark Wayne Mullin said he believes that if an adult is taken away, babies of immigrants who live illegally in the country born in the United States should be deported along with their parents.
Mullin’s comments on NBC’s “Meet the Press” paved the way for restricting President Donald Trump’s executive order to take effect in some states in response to questions about the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday.
The court’s decision did not address the legality of Trump’s order, which overturned the historic practice of granting US citizenship to everyone born within the country, regardless of the status of their parents’ immigration.
NBC’s Kristen Welker asked Marin what to do with a baby born in the US, where parents were deported, given that the child is a US citizen under current law.
“Well, they should go where their parents are,” said Marin of Oklahoma. “Why don’t you send your children with their parents? So why do you want to separate them?”
The court’s decision on Friday sparked confusion between immigrants and supporters. He scrambled to understand the actual impact when birthright citizenship applies to babies born in some states but born in other countries.
