U.S. Catholic Bishops, representing hundreds of Catholic Bishops and priests in America, has filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to stop Trump from ending birthright citizenship. The massive Catholic conference says β€˜God’ gave migrants β€˜human-dignity’ and their children deserve to have American citizenship if they are born here.

β€˜As Catholics, our faith compels us to protest laws that deny the dignity of humans’, the bishops say.

Catholic Bishops, Catholic Church, ACLU, ADL, China, Mexico and India are all on the same side when it comes to mass migration into the United States.

Madison Grant compares the fall of Rome to the faults of America: grant citizenship to the descendants of imported inferiors who have no intent or capacity to maintain your country, and see the state become ruined.

Trump's visa processing and vetting regime is disrupting legal immigrant and nonimmigrant visa approval, renewals. This is bureaucratically blocking their entry in large and small volumes.

President Trump has consistently frustrated legal immigration with rules & restrictions, freezing entire parts of the immigration process this term.

If SCOTUS makes the wrong decision, the admin may stall SSN enumeration and suspend citizenship paths in protest until the issue is resolved or their argument is dissolved by better legislation.

In any case, legal battles such as this are exactly why our guys must fill opportunities in political roles, functional orgs, lawmaking and law enforcing positions to support federal efforts.

Mass Deportations aren't only off the street, deportations are booming in courts as well thanks to Trump.

San Francisco court deportation orders are at an historic high, 80% removed and the few dismissed tend to be detained. In the Carolinas court, removals are up 50% and in-court self-departure is up 4x. This is only two sample parts of the country.

Under Trump, Immigrants with and without a lawyer or legal help face deportation 80-90%+ of the time in courts such as San Francisco. This means for all the resisting they do, they're still getting sent back.

President Trump: Vice President JD Vance, I think JDβ€”is JD here? Oh, JD! He's lost weight. He got a little thinner. I'm looking for a heavy set gentleman and now I find a perfect looking specimen, you're doing a great job.

The Asian Law Caucus posted a list of the groups trying to stop Trump from ending birthright citizenship. I cannot fit them all in one image, but the long list is dozens of Arab, Asian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Black, Latino, Jewish, Catholic, Indian, 'Islander' and Indian organizations.

A brief selection of groups involved in the attempt to stop Trump from ending birth scamming:

American Federation of Teachers; American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee; Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF);
Asian American Resource Workshop (AARW); Asian American Advocacy Fund;
Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC; Asian Americans United; Asian Law Alliance; Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance; Asian Texans for Justice; Association of Chinese Americans; Black Innovation Alliance; Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association; Chinese for Affirmative Action; Filipinx for Immigrant rights & Racial justice;

Japanese American Citizens League; Khmer Anti-deportation Advocacy Group; National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice; National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund; National Network for Arab American Communities; National Women's Law Center; Sikh American Legal Defense & Education Fund
Sikh Coalition; South Asian American Justice Collaborative.

Hispanics & Asians make up the fastest growing, largest immigrating groups in the United States. President Trump successfully ending birthright citizenship would end the replacement-incentive for illegals, asylees, H-1Bs, refugees, visitors, tourists, students, and other migrants. This would prevent millions of foreign births from becoming stuck in America.

TRUMP PARDONED NURSING HOME OWNER JOSEPH SCHWARTZ JUST 3 MONTHS INTO HIS SENTENCE FOR A $39 MILLION FRAUD SCHEME
I will actually defend this pardon decision β€” Schwartz did not steal anything from anyone, he paid his employees lawfully. What this pardon addresses is his failure to properly pay the IRS the withheld taxes, meaning the profit stayed in his business and Schwartz broke the law.

This doesn't make Schwartz a good guy, nor is it a priority for Trump to help these people, he played chicken with the IRS, but he did not fraud a retiree or scam a worker; the government was 'hurt' and others were indirectly cut by the scheme.

Trump did not pardon Schwartz for the wrongdoing of personal enrichment, Schwartz paid his restitution and still accepts state penalties. So he was not given a pass on the collateral damage that did affect people.

'We would be creating an undocumented population of Asians out of thin air. ...

Many of the children would be born to parents from countries such as India and China who are in the United States on student or work visas. Under Mr. Trump’s executive order, they would no longer be U.S. citizens. ... About half the people in the country on temporary student and work visas eventually obtain legal permanent residency, which puts them on the path to American citizenship. If birthright citizenship is eliminated, their children would have no such path.'

A second Court of Appeals has sided with President Trump, ICE and the DOJ on mass detaining a massive volume of migrants, making ICE 2-0 in the circuit.
A federal Appeals Court has put a hold on rulings that tried to stop Trump from his mandatory mass detention of several tens of thousands of non-citizens a day without bond, allowing the admin to continue denying their relief.

Over 70,000 migrants in California will be cut off from food benefits, thousands more affected by ripple, due to Trump's Big Beautiful Bill cutting down access.

Over 13,000 asylum seekers have been ordered deported to random countries recently, leaving them without an option to request a stay here and unlikely to receive relief or a chance to appeap.

President Trump's Midway Blitz operation to clean up Chicago resulted in more arrests in Illinois in a month than the entire two years of 2023 and 2024.

As of yesterday we are now at 1,600 police agreements signed with ICE; 1,110%~ increase from late 2024 and 2000%+ increase from Obama.

Mass Deportations are sustained by these rare deals, so the Trump admin is massively expanding it.
