ACLU argues birthright citizenship using WWII internment example
An attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that historical precedent supports granting citizenship to individuals born on American soil, referencing births during World War II-era Japanese internment as a key example. During an exchange with Justice Amy Coney Barrett, ACLU lawyer Wang pointed to the treatment of children born in U.S. detention camps, emphasizing that such individuals were widely recognized as American citizens under existing law.
