A new lawsuit is making headlines as it aims to protect birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants. This case is backed by a pro-mass migration group that receives funding from left-leaning organizations associated with Alex and George Soros. The Supreme Court is set to hear the case next month.
The controversy began when former President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens. This policy has been a topic of debate for years, with some Democrats previously opposing it as well. Each year, around 250,000 children, often referred to as "anchor babies," are born in the U.S., which can help their parents stay in the country.
In response to Trump’s order, two groups, CASA Inc. and the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, stepped in to challenge the decision. They represent pregnant women who are in the U.S. illegally and plan to give birth here. So far, four district court judges have halted the enforcement of Trump’s order while the case moves through the legal system.
CASA, which was formerly known as CASA de Maryland, has received over $2.23 million from Soros’s Open Society Foundations between 2016 and 2023. This lawsuit is just one of several actions involving organizations linked to Soros that have challenged various immigration policies under the Trump administration.
In addition to this case, other lawsuits funded by Soros-linked groups have successfully blocked Trump from implementing certain immigration policies, including an attempt to end a program that allowed over half a million migrants to enter the U.S. Furthermore, legal teams associated with these organizations are also working to prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants with gang affiliations.
As the Supreme Court prepares to hear this significant case, the outcome could have a lasting impact on immigration policy and birthright citizenship in the United States.
