President Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship will face its next legal hurdle this week when three separate judges hold hearings on the issue.

Following Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, several Republicans introduced a bill that would reform U.S. law to accomplish exactly that.

Brad Jones, a professor of political science at the University of California Davis, told Newsweek. Birthright citizenship has been interpreted, repeatedly, as an integral part of the 14th Amendment. Trump isn't the first to weaponize birthright citizenship but he has been the most successful at bringing this issue to a boil.
