Brian Laird on WNYC. Now we'll continue looking at one of President Donald Trump's executive orders

signed shortly after his inauguration. This came up in the last segment. We'll take a closer look now.

The end of birthright citizenship. I'm going to read for you the exact text from Section 2A of Trump's

Executive Order. This is sourced from whitehouse.gov on what the policy of this order entails.

Quote, it is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United

States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship or accept

documents issued by state, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to

recognize United States citizenship to persons,

one, when that person's mother was unlawfully present in the United States, and the person's

father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's

birth, or two, when that person's mother's presence in the United

States was lawful but temporary and the person's father was not a United States citizen or

lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's birth unquote so there's a lot to unpack

there and we'll dissect

exactly what it means shortly. But first I'll note that civil and immigrants rights

advocates, including the ACLU and Make the Road, New York, have already banded together to

sue the Trump administration over this executive order. And joining me now is Harold

Solis, legal director of Make the Road, New York.

Mr. Salis, thank you for joining us.
