OA1094 - Denaturalization and an executive order revoking birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents have both been in the news a lot recently, and Matt would like everyone to take a breath and do some realistic risk assessment. We review what it actually takes to denaturalize someone under our current system, and what it would take for a majority of even this Supreme Court to say that the Fourteenth Amendment doesn’t say exactly what it says.  Departure Statement of Wong Kim Ark, National Archives San Francisco U.S. v Wong Kim Ark, 169 US 649 (1898) Trump announcement on birthright citizenship executive order, Agenda 47 (2024) Birthright Citizens: a History of Race and Rights in Antebellum History, Martha Jones (2018) Check out the OA Linktree for all the places to go and things to do!
