The president and the executive branch cannot alone undo that judgment or that promise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Drew Ensign, an attorney for the Department of Justice, called the interpretation of the citizenship clause by the plaintiff &#8220;demonstrably and unequivocally incorrect&#8221; and argued the citizenship clause applies only &#8220;to those in the allegiance and under the protection of the country.&#8221; The DOJ has argued that a child born in the United States to a mother without legal status cannot receive citizenship unless his or her father is a citizen or green card holder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When giving his ruling, Coughenour called birthright citizenship &#8220;a fundamental constitutional right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;There are moments in the world&#8217;s history when people look back and ask, &#8216;Where were the lawyers, where were the judges?'&#8221; Coughenour said. &#8220;In these moments, the rule of law becomes especially vulnerable. I refuse to let that beacon go dark today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2025, ABC Audio.
