DOGE v. The Constitution
🔴 UPDATE: March 11, 2025
1st Circuit Court Blocks Trump’s Attack on Birthright Citizenship, Keeps Injunction in Place
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld an injunction blocking Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship, dealing another major legal defeat to the administration’s efforts to rewrite the Constitution by executive fiat. The ruling reaffirms that the 14th Amendment protects citizenship for children born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status.
Key Developments:
Court Upholds Constitutional Citizenship Rights:
Trump’s January 20, 2025, executive order sought to strip automatic citizenship from children born in the U.S. if their parents were neither citizens nor lawful permanent residents.
The 1st Circuit refused to lift the nationwide injunction, ensuring the order remains blocked while legal challenges continue.
Legal Precedent Overwhelmingly Against Trump:
The ruling cites the 14th Amendment and the 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which firmly established birthright citizenship.
This marks the third appellate court to rule against Trump’s order, with the 4th and 9th Circuits also blocking its enforcement.
Next Stop: The Supreme Court?
Legal experts expect the Trump administration to appeal to the Supreme Court, but with multiple circuit courts already ruling against him, the legal odds are stacked against his executive overreach.
🔍 Why This Matters:
The Constitution is Clear—Trump Just Doesn’t Care: The 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship is not up for debate, yet Trump is attempting to override it with an executive order, a move that even conservative legal scholars call unconstitutional.
A Pattern of Attacks on Fundamental Rights: This is another example of the administration trying to dismantle long-standing constitutional protections, only to be stopped by the courts.
Checks and Balances Are Holding—for Now: The judiciary has once again stepped in to block an unconstitutional power grab, but Trump’s allies in Congress continue working to erode those checks on his authority.
🚨 The Bottom Line:
The courts have slammed the brakes on Trump’s unconstitutional attack on birthright citizenship, but this fight is far from over. With multiple legal defeats already in the books, Trump is expected to take this to the Supreme Court, where the future of a fundamental American right may be decided.

Because silence is surrender. We never surrender. We are #TheRelentless.
Forgive my ingnorance, but how is it that this issue keeps getting appealed? How many times can you go back to the courts and keep getting the same decision? Seems like a waste of time and money. Of course, it’s not their money to waste, just ours.
