Sometimes fighting in Court as to whether you are a U.S. Citizen is not nearly as easy as it might seem

Posted on February 15, 2016 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

The Ninth Circuit denied the petition for review, finding that the government satisfied its burden to rebut the petitioner’s claim of citizenship by “clear, unequivocal, and convincing” evidence.

The Eighth Circuit denied the petition for review, finding that the petitioner forfeited his right to a merits hearing on the charge of falsely representing himself as a U.S. citizen in violation of INA §237(a)(3)(D) when he failed to make a timely assertion of that right.

If your born in America Samoa are you a U.S. Citizen at birth?

Posted on July 6, 2015 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

The DC Circuit upheld the district court, ruling that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause does not extend birthright citizenship to those born in American Samoa, because the Citizenship Clause is textually ambiguous as to whether “in the United States” encompasses America’s unincorporated territories, and it is “impractical and anomalous” to impose citizenship by judicial fiat where doing so would override the democratic prerogatives of the American Samoan people.
