Nivida, a Honduran immigrant expecting a baby boy, fears her family will be torn apart due to Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship. Her husband has an open application for a special visa, but the process is lengthy. Nivida's initial asylum application was dismissed, but she can file another one.
Meny, another pregnant asylum seeker from Honduras, shares Nivida's concerns. She and her partner have open asylum cases and are grateful for the opportunities they have had in the United States. However, the executive order has created a lot of uncertainty and fear for their family.
Liza, a Russian immigrant expecting her first child, is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the executive order. She and her husband have an open asylum case and fear their baby will be left stateless if denied birthright citizenship. They cannot return to Russia due to persecution.
Nivida, Meny, and Liza all express shock and disbelief at the executive order, which shakes their belief in the Constitution and the rule of law in the United States. They remain hopeful in the court system and believe that the courts will uphold the Constitution and protect their rights.

Trump’s order is a wake-up call for those who think coming to the U.S. is a free ride. We need to protect our borders!

If their asylum applications were dismissed, they should take that as a sign that they don’t belong here.

Why make it easier for people who violate our immigration laws? This is about protecting American sovereignty.

The courts need to uphold the law, not let emotions dictate policy. We need stability, not chaos!

No one should expect rights they haven’t worked for. The Constitution isn’t a blanket cover for everyone!

Nivida, Meny, and Liza deserve better. Let’s stand together for their rights and the rights of all immigrants!

This is heartbreaking! Everyone deserves to feel secure when starting a family, no matter their background.
