"Shock and Awe": ICE Raids Begin as Judge Halts Unconstitutional Birthright Citizenship Order

As the Trump administration launches what it touts as the largest mass deportation campaign in U.S. history, we look at how immigrant communities and advocates are fighting back. The administration already faces some setbacks, including in its attempt to end birthright citizenship, which a federal judge halted Thursday from going into effect because it was "blatantly unconstitutional." Thursday's ruling is the first in what's expected to be a long legal battle against Trump's anti-immigrant agenda. "We're in a moment where there's a ton of fear in the community," says Harold Solis, legal director at Make the Road New York, which has filed its own lawsuit against the government. We also speak with Columbia University historian Mae Ngai, who says the fight over birthright citizenship is part of the long history of restrictionist immigration policies in the country. "What we're seeing this week is shock and awe. It's meant to terrorize," she says. "We have to fight on all levels."
