On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order regarding birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to mothers who are undocumented or on nonimmigrant visas. The order, set to take effect on February 19, 2025, has already faced legal challenges. You can read the Executive Order here.
More than 20 states filed lawsuits to prevent the implementation of the order. On January 23, 2025, a federal judge temporarily blocked the order for 14 days while legal proceedings begin. On February 5, 2025, a federal judge issued a nationwide preliminary injunction that that blocks the order indefinitely.
For now, birthright citizenship remains unchanged—all children born in the U.S. continue to be recognized as U.S. citizens. If the Executive Order does take effect in the future, it will not impact those who have already acquired citizenship by birth.

I began working with Martha after a decade of having my immigration process handled by attorneys that worked for my employers and everything changed immediately. Martha was invested in my personal story and circumstances and took all the time I needed to talk me through the options and process.

Elizabeth helped me file, process and ultimately successfully complete my Naturalization "journey" to become an American citizen. There were bumps on the road as the process is time-consuming, confusing (to me) and frequently frustrating... But Elizabeth (and her staff) were always responsive, clear, knowledgeable and reliable. I am today an American citizen and I would recommend her services to anyone...
We contacted Martha after reaching out 3 immigration lawyers and having terrible experiences. When it comes to immigration issues it is easy to play with peoples’ hopes, Martha was fresh air. Since the first call, Martha was straightforward and realistic, she thoroughly explained the rules that applied, most common/possible outcomes in my case, time frames and the requirements I had...
