DESCRIPTION:Join the Brennan Center for Justice as experts respond to the executive 
 branch’s attack on the foundational Constitutional right of birthright 
 citizenship.\n\nThursday, June 12, 2025 at 9:30 - 10:30 AM PT (12:30 – 
 1:30pm ET) \n\nInfo: 
 https://www.brennancenter.org/events/guarantee-birthright-citizenship\n\n\nOn 
 the very first day of his second term in office, President Donald Trump 
 issued an executive order purporting to strip U.S. citizenship from the 
 children of undocumented immigrants. \n\nThe order directly conflicts with 
 the plain language of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which states 
 that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject 
 to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the 
 State wherein they reside.” And it defies more than a century of case 
 law.\n\nThe executive order met with immediate legal challenges and a wave 
 of court rulings blocking its enforcement, and it is destined for a Supreme 
 Court showdown. The history of the 14th Amendment will likely play a key 
 role in the outcome of the case. \n\n--What historical currents led to the 
 ratification of the amendment’s Citizenship Clause? \n\n--What did the 
 framers intend? \n\n--How did courts interpret its guarantees in the 
 decades following? \n\n--How do today’s attacks on birthright citizenship 
 relate to historical attempts to deny citizenship to people born and living 
 in the United States?\n\nJoin the Brennan Center virtually on Thursday, 
 June 12th for a discussion with leading experts on the historical and legal 
 dimensions of the attack on birthright citizenship.\n\nProduced in 
 partnership with the Organization of American 
 Historians\n\nSpeakers:\n\n--Martha Jones, Professor of History, Johns 
 Hopkins University\n\n--Erika Lee, Bae Family Professor of History, 
 Radcliffe Alumnae Professor, Harvard University\n\n--Kate Masur, Professor 
 of History, Northwestern University\n\n--Thomas Wolf, Director of Democracy 
 Initiatives, Founder of Historians Council on the Constitution, Brennan 
 Center\n\n--Moderator: Kareem Crayton, Vice President for Washington, DC, 
 Brennan Center\n\n\n
