The Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC) criticized an executive order targeting birthright citizenship.
A Catholic legal group criticized President Donald Trump’s executive orders to restrict birthright citizenship, and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is reviewing and monitoring them.
It also would end birthright citizenship for a child born of a parent considered an “alien enemy,” including members of terrorist organizations.
Anna Gallagher, executive director of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC), criticized the birthright citizenship executive order in a statement to EWTN News.
In June, the Supreme Court ruled the 14th Amendment of the Constitution protects automatic birthright citizenship with few exceptions.
