Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

The U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland preliminarily enjoined enforcement of President Trump's 2026 executive order restricting birthright citizenship as applied to the certified class. The opinion states that Trump v. Barbara already held children born to parents unlawfully or temporarily present in the United States are citizens at birth.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the lookback-adjacent period, a federal court blocked the latest executive attempt to restrict birthright citizenship. This shows the promised policy has not been delivered and remains blocked by constitutional litigation/precedent.

GovInfo bill text lists Chip Roy as an original cosponsor of H.R. 569, introduced January 21, 2025 and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. The bill would define a U.S.-born person as subject to U.S. jurisdiction only if one parent is a U.S. citizen/national, lawful permanent resident, or lawful-status active-duty servicemember.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Roy took concrete legislative action toward narrowing birthright citizenship, but the official record cited only introduction and committee referral, not enactment. This supports effort without delivery.

Roy materially supported the promised policy by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R. 569 in the 119th Congress, which sought to narrow birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and many non-citizen foreign nationals. But the evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, not enacted. A later executive effort to restrict birthright citizenship was also preliminarily enjoined by a federal court, indicating the promised outcome has not been implemented. This supports serious effort without delivery.
