Nivida, a pregnant immigrant from Honduras living in Louisiana, is expecting a baby boy in April. However, her excitement is overshadowed by fear due to President Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship, potentially leaving her second child without the same rights as her first. Nivida and her husband are both dealing with immigration challenges, with an open visa application and a dismissed asylum case. She is part of a lawsuit challenging Trump’s order alongside other pregnant women, asylum seekers, and immigrant mothers who fear for their children’s future.
Meny, also an asylum seeker from Honduras, experiences uncertainty and fear over her baby’s future as a result of the executive order. As an immigrant who cannot return to her home country due to persecution, she worries about being separated from her family. Liza, a Russian immigrant, is concerned about her own family’s safety and the potential statelessness of her unborn child if denied birthright citizenship. All three women express shock at Trump’s order, which has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge.
The women’s stories highlight the emotional toll and uncertainty caused by Trump’s anti-immigration measures. Despite their fears, they place hope in the U.S. court system to uphold their rights and the principles of democracy. The threat of being separated from their families and the possibility of their children being denied citizenship has created anxiety and insecurity among immigrant communities. By speaking out and joining lawsuits challenging the order, Nivida, Meny, and Liza are advocating for their children’s future and standing up against discrimination and injustice.
