Efforts to redefine the 14th Amendment could leave thousands of children stateless and trigger constitutional battles.

A federal judge used an exception to overcome the Supreme Court's recent ruling that restricted the ability of judges to block this and other policies nationwide.

A federal judge again barred President Donald Trump 's administration from enforcing his executive order limiting birthright citizenship nationwide after the Supreme Court restricted the ability of judges to block his policies using nationwide injunctions.

It is beyond ironic that Cruz has sponsored legislation to exclude disfavored children from the Constitution, given that he is not a 14th Amendment citizen himself.
