Birthright citizenship is back in federal court today. Here’s where things stand.

Last year, Trump tried to end citizenship for babies born to undocumented parents or parents on temporary visas. Lower courts blocked it. In June, the Supreme Court struck it down, ruling that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship.

In August, he signed two new orders. One narrows citizenship for children of foreign government employees, alleged alien enemies, and parents accused of fraud. A federal judge in Maryland has already blocked that order for one certified class of families. Today, a judge in D.C. hears the ACLU’s request to extend that protection to more families.

The outcome isn’t decided yet. In my view, the Supreme Court already answered the big question. The real test now is whether these new orders can be stopped.

#birthrightcitizenhip #immigrationnews #uscitizenship #immigrationlawyer #immigrationattorneysVeterans Day was yesterday. Here’s what the government’s own numbers show, and why I don’t think we’re doing enough.

Between January 2025 and January 2026, ICE arrested 125 veterans. Nearly two-thirds had no active criminal warrant. DHS also tried to deport 282 veterans and their family members. There’s no official count of how many veterans have actually been deported. Military service doesn’t guarantee citizenship, so noncitizen veterans can be deported.

We give Israel $3.8 billion a year in military aid. Congress is debating a bill critics say would cut disability pay for some veterans.

On mental health, 17.7 veterans died by suicide per day in 2024. Most of the ones who died, 62%, weren’t getting VA care in the year they died or the year before.

Some progress is real. The VA’s disability claims backlog fell below 70,000 this summer. But saying thank you is the easy part. In my view, the harder part is showing up for the veterans who keep falling through the cracks.

The latest update from USCIS on N-400 citizenship applications and what you need to know:

	1.	Child support: Willfully not supporting your child can count against you, even without a court order. Officers may also look at whether your child uses public benefits.
	2.	Public benefits: Getting benefits is not a bar on its own. False income reporting, or cutting work hours to stay eligible, can count against you.
	3.	Sponsor promises: Not keeping your affidavit of support obligations can count against you.

What you do after a denial matters just as much as the denial itself.

If you came in on a visitor visa, applied for asylum, and then married a U.S. citizen, you may get a letter called a NOD, a Notice of Intent to Deny. I’m Shahzeen Karim, an immigration attorney, and this is what I’d watch for. USCIS may question whether you planned to apply for asylum when you arrived. You usually have 30 days to respond, so start gathering your evidence now and talk to a licensed attorney early.
