Bloomberg Radio

Immigration attorney Leon Fresco was interviewed on Bloomberg Radio about the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling rejecting the Trump Administration's efforts to prevent automatic citizenship for children born on U.S. soil. He examined whether the decision on birthright citizenship settled the matter at the case level or addressed the constitutional question of who qualifies for citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment, adding that the administration may explore other strategies to narrow the scope of rights tied to citizenship.
