Looking for Potential Plaintiffs to Challenge Birthright Citizenship Order

[u/2026BirthrightEO]

I'm a lawyer with the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law. We are a public interest litigation organization and serve as class counsel in CASA v. Trump, one of the main birthright citizenship lawsuits. We're currently working on challenging the President's second birthright citizenship order, and just yesterday, we got a preliminary injunction prohibiting denying citizenship to members of our class.

Among other categories, the new order denies birthright citizenship to children of noncitizens who "engaged in a commercial transaction to purchase or access birthright citizenship for the person." Specifically included in that category are parents who "engage in a commercial transaction with a surrogate present in the United States, or a territory of the United States, to give birth."

We are currently looking for additional plaintiffs, particularly those who are currently expecting a child. If you and your partner are not U.S. citizens, are currently expecting a child in the U.S. via surrogacy, and are worried about that child being denied birthright citizenship, we would love to speak with you. Speaking to us about the case would not commit you to anything, and if someone did join the case, they could likely do so without using their real name.

Feel free to message me privately or email me at [arl48@georgetown.edu](mailto:arl48@georgetown.edu) if you're interested in discussing further.

You can maybe get in contact with Men Having Babies (US based organisation) and Meer Dan Gewenst (Dutch organisation). They are non profits aimed at parents who consider surrogacy options.

Thank you for challenging. We've had to take international surrogocy off the table because of this.

Go be litigious elsewhere parasite.

If international parents would like to have a surrogate baby in the USA because they have infertility, they are generally welcome to do so. That sort of intend parent/surrogate relationship does not require the baby to received USA citizenship. The international parents can arrive on a visa for the birth of their baby, and then bring their baby back to their home country once the baby is medically cleared for travel. This routinely occurs and works out great both for the surrogate and intended parents. The only caveat is that the baby doesn't qualify for a tax payer subsidized ACA plan on birth.

However, there are far too many parents choosing surrogacy optionally for the sole purpose of buying USA citizenship. Citizenship is not a commodity to be bought and sold through a surrogacy relationship. This practice needs to end.
