Honoring the 158th Anniversary of the 14th Amendment
Members spoke on the House floor to mark the 158th anniversary of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to those born in the United States and equal protection under the law. Democratic members, including co-chairs of the newly launched Defend the 14th Amendment Task Force, said birthright citizenship and equal protection are under attack, citing efforts by President Trump and his allies to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. Speakers said they would work to defend the amendment’s guarantees, and noted that weakening rights for some puts everyone’s rights at risk.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
