Summary
A third federal judge, Joseph N. Laplante, blocked Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.
His ruling follows similar decisions from judges in Seattle and Maryland.
The lawsuits, led by the ACLU, argue Trump’s order violates the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to nearly all born on U.S. soil.
The Trump administration contends such children are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. Legal battles continue, with appeals underway and further rulings expected in other courts.
My understanding is that outlaws were still subject to the law in the UK and that’s probably the understanding of it in the early USA. Outlawry was just a likely death sentence in absentia for felons on the run as opposed to a purposeful banishment. They’d even pay bounties to have felons tracked down and brought back because they were concerned with them being subjected to legal consequences.
English Common Law had the “writ of outlawry” and the subject was deprived of all legal rights, being outside the “law”, but others could kill him on sight as if he were a wolf or other wild animal.
There’s a pretty good Wikipedia Article for this.
You couldn’t do this, English (and much of European) law required a trial
I think he means in pre modern times. Not the current era.
Yeah I was talking about medieval to 19th century
Obviously you don’t need to put an animal on trial for murder anymore
