A coalition of advocacy organizations has filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging Mr. Trump to revoke birth-to-birth citizenship after his release, launching what is expected to be a series of high-stakes legal battles over the new avenue of the Immigration Action Administration.
The lawsuit, filed through the American Civil Liberties Union and other pro-immigrant teams in federal district court in New Hampshire, says Trump’s order harkens back to the U. S. Constitution and betrays American values. They asked the court to block the execution of the order.
Mr. Trump’s executive order, if implemented, would deny birthright citizenship to young people of parents who are in the United States illegally or on transitory visas.
Juan Proaño, CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, one of the lawsuit’s plaintiffs, said Mr. Trump was “attempting to violate the civil rights of American citizens and their immigrant family members.”
“This effort to demonize brown and black immigrants targets all immigrants in this country, regardless of their origin,” Proaño told CBS News in a statement. “If he is arrested, it will undermine the very essence of what it means to be an American. ” and destroy families. ”

On his first day in office, Trump reinstated Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, reversing an order issued through former President Joe Biden last week.
Biden had announced his goal of eliminating the designation as part of a Vatican scan agreement to political prisoners in Cuba.
Trump is ordering the Federal Government to avoid detecting citizens by automatic birth for the children of other people in the country illegally. The United States Government has long interpreted that the 14th amendment of the Constitution grants a citizenship right to other people born in US soil, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.
Trump signed an executive order on Monday night directing the Justice Department to enforce a law banning Tiktok for 75 days.
The law followed the Congress last year for national security disorders and was shown through the Supreme Court 3 days before Trump assumed the position. Disversion or banking law allowed the president to retain his 90 -day implementation if an ongoing sale before January 19, when he entered into force.
“I have the only constitutional duty for the national security of the United States, the realization of foreign policy and other important executive functions. To satisfy these responsibilities, I intend to consult my advisors, adding the heads of departments and agencies involved in national security disorders raised through Tiktok and continue a solution that protects national security while saving a platshape form used to through 170 million Americans. “The order said.

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that “every other person called me on TikTok. ”
Trump said most of the people who use the app are young children.
“Whether China is going to get data on young children, I don’t know,” he said, shrugging his shoulders. Trump said he thought the U. S. had “bigger problems” than that.
While signing stock in the Oval Office, a reporter asked Mr. Trump if he had won a letter from former President Biden before leaving the White House.
The president looked in the drawer of the Resolute Desk and pulled the letter out.
“Maybe we should all read it together,” Mr. Trump said, before adding that he would read it first “and then make that determination.”
“It may not have noticed it in months,” he said.
Trump said he left a letter for Biden after his first term ended in January 2021.
Among the Jan. 6 clemency recipients is expected to be Enrique Tarrio, the former head of the far-right group the Proud Boys, who was serving a 22-year sentence after he was convicted in May 2023 of charges including seditious conspiracy. His lawyer, Nayid Hassan, told CBS News that Tarrio was expected to receive a pardon or have his sentence commuted.
Many Jan. 6 defendants have been charged with nonviolent crimes, some have faced more serious crimes, such as conspiracy to use force to resist the transfer of force.
The president’s action comes on his first day back in the White House and just hours after he was sworn in for a second term. Mr. Trump has repeatedly sought to downplay the events of Jan. 6, when a mob of his supporters breached the Capitol in an effort to stop Congress from reaffirming former President Biden’s victory over him in 2020. And the pardons further his efforts to recast the assault as a “day of love” and Jan. 6 defendants as “political prisoners” and “hostages.”
