A federal judge has certified a class-action lawsuit filed by the ACLU and other groups that seeks to protect children affected by President Donald Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship.

Kermit Roosevelt is the David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice at Penn Carey Law School. He is also a member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty. Read his bio here.
