We just had a major victory in our fight to protect citizenship rights.

ACLU Supporter, huge win: a judge just blocked President Trump's order restricting birthright citizenship and certified a nationwide class, protecting the citizenship rights of all children born on U.S. soil.

This is a massive victory for our fight to protect birthright citizenship. And we couldn't have done it without ACLU supporters like you.

We filed the first challenge to the birthright order just hours after it was issued. Our ACLU community joined us by sending over 98,000 messages to their representatives calling to protect birthright citizenship. Then, thanks to your support, when the Supreme Court issued an order two weeks ago restricting nationwide injunctions and raising the possibility that the unconstitutional executive order could partially go into effect on July 27, the ACLU was able to immediately file another lawsuit – this time pursuing a class-action lawsuit to ensure that the order would never go into effect, for anyone, ever.

And today, a federal court granted our request for a nationwide, class-action block on this order while litigation continues.

This is a major win. Depriving any U.S.-born child of their citizenship would be a devastating violation of our Constitution – and today's ruling will protect children nationwide from that irreparable harm. We will continue to pursue our challenges to Trump's executive order until we get a final ruling protecting birthright citizenship.

ACLU Supporter, you were a critical part of this victory, and we're so grateful to you for all you do.

Thanks for staying in the fight,

The ACLU Team
