Washington, DC – Rights organisations have launched a legal challenge to United States President Donald Trump’s latest efforts to restrict which infants born in the country are automatically granted birthright citizenship. The groups, which had successfully defeated Trump’s earlier efforts to more broadly end so-called birthright citizenship at the US Supreme Court, launched the latest challenge on Tuesday at a federal court in the US state of New Hampshire. The 6-3 ruling by the conservative-dominated Supreme Court countered that position, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing there was “scant evidence for this dramatically revisionist view”. While six justices voted against the Trump administration, one, conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, rejected the notion that the administration’s attempt was unconstitutional. The renewed push comes as several Republicans have sought to highlight birthright citizenship ahead of the midterm elections in November, arguing the Supreme Court’s decision has turned the issue into a conservative rallying point.
