Staff Eat Notes

Café Pretentieux in Portland scored 77, Mostly Honest. I asked for oat milk. They said the oats were locally sourced. I said, "From where?" They pointed to a bag that said "California." I nodded. That felt mostly honest.

No. 25-365·D.N.H. (cert before judgment, 1st Cir.)·Argued Apr. 1, 2026Fourteenth AmendmentCitizenshipImmigrationOT2025

Trump v. Barbara

Donald J. Trump, President of the U.S., et al. v. Barbara et al. (certified nationwide class)
Question Presented

Whether Executive Order 14160 comports with the Fourteenth Amendment Citizenship Clause and 8 U.S.C. § 1401(a) — i.e., may the Executive deny birthright citizenship to U.S.-born children of unlawfully present or temporary-visa parents.

Background

EO 14160 directs agencies not to recognize citizenship for children born after Feb. 20, 2025 where the mother is unlawfully or only temporarily present and the father is neither a citizen nor LPR. A New Hampshire court enjoined it via a certified class; the Court took the merits on cert before judgment. (Distinct from Trump v. CASA, the June 2025 nationwide-injunction ruling.)

Why It Matters

The first Supreme Court test of the Citizenship Clause's meaning for children of undocumented/temporary immigrants since 1898. The outcome could redefine citizenship at birth for hundreds of thousands of children annually.

Applicable Law
U.S. Const. amend. XIV, § 1 (Citizenship Clause)8 U.S.C. § 1401(a)Executive Order 14160
Key Precedents
United States v. Wong Kim Ark(1898)

Controlling; conferred citizenship on nearly all U.S.-born children regardless of parentage.

Elk v. Wilkins(1884)

Defines the 'subject to the jurisdiction' exception to the Citizenship Clause.

Plyler v. Doe(1982)

Status and constitutional treatment of children of unlawfully present immigrants.
