On April 1, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on the scope of birthright citizenship in Trump v. Barbara.  Last year, the President issued Executive Order 14160 and declared that only children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents would be entitled to automatic citizenship by birth.  Litigation challenging the executive order immediately ensued.  NAPABA - along with a broad coalition of bar associations throughout the country - participated as amici and objected to the executive order.  Now that the matter has reached the Supreme Court, please join NAPABA for a thoughtful discussion on its position defending birthright citizenship both in the lower federal courts and the Supreme Court, the importance of Asian American legal history, and how that history informs the arguments in this case.

Moderator: Edgar Chen, NAPABA Special Policy Advisor

Panelists: 

Professor Beth Lew-Williams, Director of the Program in Asian American Studies and Professor of History at Princeton University

Wendy M. Feng, Counsel at Seyfarth Shaw LLP
