THOSE STORIES AND MORE, NEXT, ON ARIZONA HORIZON.

>> ARIZONA HORIZON MADE POSSIBLE BY FRIENDS OF ARIZONA PBS.

>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M TED SIMONS.

A FEDERAL JUDGE TODAY TEMPORARILY BLOCKED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER RESTRICTING AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP TO CHILDREN BORN TO UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS.THE JUDGE CALLED THE PRESIDENT'S ORDER, QUOTE, BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

THIS PARTICULAR CASE INVOLVES A LAWSUIT FILED BY ARIZONA ATTORNEY GENERAL KRIS MAYES AND ATTORNEYS GENERAL FROM WASHINGTON, OREGON AND ILLINOIS.

SUITS HAVE ALSO BEEN FILED BY 18 OTHERS STATES, ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF ADVOCACY GROUPS.

ON CAPITOL HILL, HOUSE REPUBLICANS TODAY UNVEILED LEGISLATION THAT WOULD FOLLOW THE PRESIDENT'S LEAD IN RESTRICTING BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP.

ARIZONA CONGRESSMAN ANDY BIGGS WAS FRONT AND CENTER IN PUSHING FOR THE RESTRICTION.

>> WE NEED TO CLARIFY AND COTFY, THERE IS NO BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP FOR THOSE WHO ENTER THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.

>> IF THE FRAMERS OF THE 14th AMENDMENT WOULD HAVE KNOWN HOW ABUSED IT WOULD BE.

IT WASN'T A NOTION IN THE 18 60s, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY STUNNED.

PEOPLE ABUSING THIS NOW, THEY ARE HERE TEMPORARY.

THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY.

THEY SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED THE SPECIAL GIFT OF CITIZENSHIP IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHEN YOU ABUSED OUR LAW.

>> WE WILL HAVE MORE ON THE BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ISSUE IN JUST A MOMENT.

>> PETE HEGSETH'S NOMINATION FOR DEFENSE SECRETARY WAS BOLSTERED TODAY AS THE SENATE VOTED 5149 TO BREAK A FILIBUSTER, WHICH CLEARS THE WAY FOR A FINAL CONFIRMATION VOTE TOMORROW NIGHT.

2 REPUBLICANS HAVE SAID THEY WILL NOT VOTE TO CONFIRM HEGSETH, BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TO DERAIL THE NOMINATION.

AND THAT'S TOO BAD, ACCORDING TO ARIZONA DEMOCRATIC SENATOR MARK KELLY.

>> I DON'T THINK THERE IS A HARDER JOB IN GOVERNMENT EXCEPT THE PRESIDENTAND SEC TAR OF THE DEFENSE.

THIS GUY IS CLEARLY NOT READY FOR TH JOB.

I HAVEN'T MET WITH HIM PRIVATELY.

WHEN WE HAVE THE COMMITTEE HEARING.

HE HAS A LOT OF PERSONAL ISSUES AND HE'S NOT PREPARED OR READY TO DO THIS.

HE DOESN'T HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH DEFENSE POLICY IMPLEMENTING IT OR CREATING IT.

HE DOESN'T CHECK.

HARD TIME FINDING THE BOX HE CHECKS.

>> KELLY APPEARING THERE ON CNN'S INSIDE POLITICS.

>> ONE MORE HEADLINE: FEDERAL AND STATE TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES HAVE AGREED TO HALT PLANS FOR AN INTERSTATE BETWEEN NOGALES AND WICKENBBURG.

THIS IN RESPONSE TO A LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY CONSERVATIONISTS, WHO CLAIM THAT THE PROPOSED I11 PROJECT WILL ENDANGER A VARIETY OF PLANTS, WILDLIFE, PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS WILL NOW REVIEW ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE CONCERNS AND HOLD A 60DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.>>> AS WE MENTIONED, A FEDERAL JUDGE TODAY BLOCKED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT WOULD END BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, WHICH IS AUTOMATICALLY GIVEN TO ANY CHILD BORN IN THE U.S.

REGARDLESS OF THEIR PARENT'S IMMIGRATION STATUS.>> WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ISSUE WITH FORMER ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY ROY HERRERA, FOUNDING PARTER OF HERRERA ARELLANO.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WHEN WE COMES TO BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP YOU AUTOMATICALLY GET CITIZENSHIP IF YOU ARE BORN IN THE U.S.

SOIL.

THE BASIS OF THAT IS THE 14th AMENDMENT OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.

AS YOU MENTIONED, AN EXECUTIVE ORDER WHERE THE PRESIDENT DECLARES THE END OF BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP TO PEOPLE BORN OF NONCITIZENS IN THE U.S. >> HOW IS IT GROUNDED IN THE CONSTITUTION.

GIVE US THE HISTORY.

>> THE TEXT SAYS ALL PERSONS BORN IN THE U.S. AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THERE OF.

THAT PHRASE IS IMPORT ABOUT WHEN DISCUSSING THIS LITIGATION IS AUTOMATIC CITIZENS.

THE 14th AMENDMENT WAS ENACTED IN THE MID 1800s AFTER THE DRED SCOTT DECISION.

THIS WAS BY THE U.S. SUPREME COURT AND DESCENDENTS OF SLAVES WERE THERE TO REMEDY THE DECISION.

IF YOU WERE BORN HERE YOU BECOME A CITIZEN.

>> HOW MANY TIMES OF THIS ASPECT, BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP BEEN CHALLENGED.

>> IT'S BEEN CHALLENGED AND ADDRESSED A NUMBER OF TIMES.

THE MOST FAMOUS DECISION WAS IN 1898 RELATING TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.

WHEN IT WENT TO THE COURT, THE COURT DECIDED THE WAY THE 14th AMENDMENT WAS TO BE INTERPRETED THE IF YOU ARE BORN HERE, EVEN IF PARENTS WERE NONCITIZENS.

>> THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS.

>> THERE ARE LIMITED EXCEPTIONS WE HAVE SEEN THE COURTS REFER TO OVER THE YEARS.

FOR EXAMPLE, ONE EXCEPTION AND LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES IS DECISION OF FOREIGN DIPLOMATS.

ANOTHER EXCEPTION IS SOMETHING LIKE AN INVADING ARMY COMING TO THE U.S. AND THE ARMY OFFICER OR SOLDIERS HAVE KID HERE IS.

>> THAT IS THE REFERENCE TO ALLEGIANCE.

THEY HAVE AN ALLEGIANCE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.

SOUNDS LIKE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND THOSE WHO THINK HE'S DOING THE RIGHT THING HERE IS SAYING IMMIGRANTS HERE UNDOCUMENTED, THEY DON'T HAVE ALLEGIANCE TO THE UNITED STATES.

>> IT'S A SIMILAR ARGUMENT GOING BACK TO THE 14th AMENDMENT THE IDEA, THE EXACT PHRASE SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THERE OF.

IN THE CHILD OF AN INVADING SOLDIER OR FOREIGN DIPLOMAT, THE ARGUMENT THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE U.S. AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE ARGUMENT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WOULD MAKE IT IS PEOPLE BORN TO NONCITIZENS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE U.S.

THE PLAINTIFF'S IN A NUMBER OF LAWSUITS FILED ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO BLOCK THE EXECUTIVE ORDER, THEY WOULD DISAGREE WITH THAT SAYING THOSE INDIVIDUALS BORN IN THE U.S. ARE SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE U.S. AND SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF THE U.S.

THEY HAVE TO BE SUBJECT TO DEPORTATION.

BY THAT NATURE, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO JURISDICTION.

>> CONGRESSMAN BIGGS WOULD LIKE CLARIFICATION.

HOW MUCH CLARIFICATION, HOW MUCH MORE CLARIFICATION DO WE NEED.

IS IT THAT ALLEGIANCE.

>> THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THE MEANING OF THE 14th AMENDMENT IS GET THE U.S. SUPREME COURT TO DECLARE SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY WHICH IS ULTIMATELY WHAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS HOPING FOR OR AMEND THE 14th AMENDMENT ITSELF.

OF COURSE, THAT CAN'T BE DONE STATUTORILY.

YOU HAVE TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.

THEY SAID WHY NOT PROVIDE A STATUE THAT PROVIDES MORE SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE ARGUMENT, THIS WAS NEVER INTENDED.

YOU MENTIONED EN SLAVED PEOPLE.

THIS WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.

>> GOING TO THE HISTORY OF HOW THE 14th AMENDMENT HAS BEEN INTERPRETED BY THE U.S. SUPREME COURT.

THE COURT HAS BEEN CLEAR, THAT DOESN'T MATTER.

INTERPRETATION OF THE 14th AND AMENDMENT AND PLAIN LANGUAGE MEANS WHAT IT SAYS.

IF YOU ARE BORN HERE YOU BECOME A CITIZEN.

>> THE LEGAL ASPECTS, WE KNOW WHAT ATTORNEY GENERAL MAYS WAS INVOLVED.

THERE ARE A FLURRY OF OTHER LAWSUITS OUT THERE ON THIS.

WHERE DO WE GO LEGALLY?

>> WHAT WE SAW TODAY, WHAT WE SAW HOURS AGO A FEDERAL JUDGE IN WASHINGTON STATE ISSUES A 14 DAY TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER.

THIS WAS A REPUBLICAN APPOINTEE THAT DECLARED THE TRO.

THEY NEED A DECISION ON IF THERE IS A PERMANENT INJUNCTION.

THERE IS A TEMPORARY ONE AND THEN AN PERMANENT ONE.

THERE IS AN APPEAL GOING TO THE COURT AND PROBABLY TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT.

YOU HAVE THESE OTHER CASES IN THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS THAT WILL PROCEED AT THEIR OWN PACE.

ALL OF THE ROADS LEAD TO GOING BACK TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT AND THEY WILL PROVIDE THE CLARIFICATION ON WHAT THAT MEANS.

>> WHEN THE ROADS END AND THE CLARIFICATION IS OFFERED.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THIS SUPREME COURT?

>> IT'S HARD TO SAY.

THE COURT SHOWN TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF DIFFERENT NOVEL LEGAL THEORIES BY PRESIDENT TRUMP.

IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, TO THE EXTENT THERE ARE CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES THAT BELIEVE IN THE TEXTUALISM.

THEY WILL AFFIRM, THEY WILL AFFIRM THE PRIOR DECISIONS OF THE COURT INCLUDING THE 1898 CASE.

THESE DAYS, IT'S DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT THEY WILL DO.

LIKE THE PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY CASE.

>> INTERESTING STUFF, AMAZING EVERYTHING GOING ON.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR AVAILABILITY.

WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

ROY HERRERA.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU.

>>> ASU'S MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. SERVANT AWARD HONORS COMMUNITY LEADERS, ASU FACULTY AND STUDENTS FOR THEIR WORK IN CARRYING ON DR. KING'S SERVANT BASED WORK.

WE WELCOME GRADUATE STUDENT CORDERO HOLMES TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

CONGRATULATIONS.

>> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> WHAT DID YOU FIRST THINK?

>> THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TIME I WAS ASSOCIATED WITH DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

I RECEIVED THE LIVING THE DREAM HONOR.

GIVEN TO THOSE WHO EMBODY THE VALUES.

TWO YEARS LATER I HEARD I WAS ASSOCIATED WITH DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING IS EXTREMELY HUMBLING.

>> TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH DR.KING AND HONORED IN HIS NAME HAS TO BE SPECIAL.

>> ABSOLUTELY SPECIAL.

I HAVE BEEN INCARCERATED FOR 10 YEARS.

IT'S HARD TO GET A YOU GOT IT DAD.

SO, EVERY TIME, I GET IT.

>> INCARCERATION AND USING THAT BACKGROUND TO MENTOR YOUTH AND FIGHT INJUSTICES ELSEWHERE.

>> I HAVE BEEN IN INSTITUTIONS SINCE I WAS 18 YEARS OLD.

2.5 YEARS IN PRISON AND WHILE I WAS IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.

THIS IS THROUGH READING BOOKS.

IT WAS THROUGH THE BOOKS I SAW MYSELF IN THE EYES OF DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. ANGELA DAVIS AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE WHEN I GOT OUT I COULD ASSIST THOSE FOUGHT LIKE I DID.

A NEW WAY OF LIVING AND THINKING.

IS THERE AN AU-HA MOMENT?

>> YES, READING MALCOLM X BOOK.

HE LIVED LIKE I LIVED.

I SAW THE TRANSFORMATION THAT OCCURRED AND COULDN'T HELP HE CONTINUED TO EVOLVE AND THE GROWTH HI DID.

I WOULD PICK UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF AS FAR AS THE EVOLUTION.

>> SO, IT INVOLVES MENTORING YOUTH.

WHAT YOU TELL THE KIDS AND WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE KIDS.

>> YES, ABSOLUTELY.

THIS IS FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.

THIS WAS IN 20 O 18 AND CAME DOWN HERE IN ARIZONA.

TOOK HIS POSITION AND WE WORK WITH YOUTH IN RANGELE JUVENILE FACILITIES AND ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS.

WE TALK TO THEM AND TELL THEM, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHATNOT TO DO.

I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU, IF YOU CONTINUE TO WALK THE PATH WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.

I HAVE EXPERIENCE BED IT.

FRIENDS OF MINE HAVE IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

THIS COULD HAPPEN.

>> DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED IF YOU HAD SOMEONE LIKE YOU TALK TO YOU THE WAY YOU TALK TO THEM.

>> GOES BACK TO WHAT I SHARED.

I FEEL LIKE I HAVE THAT.

I HAVE THAT BUT DURING THE PROCESS AND JUST LEARNING WHAT HAPPENED, I STARTED TO TAKE EACH INDIVIDUALS THAT I WAS INCARCERATED WITH.

YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE.

I SPOKE TO YOUTH AND DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE AND YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AND OTHERS THAT EXPERIENCED IT.

>> INDIGENOUS PEOPLE FIGHTING INJUSTICES AGAINST INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.

YOU ARE APART OF THAT.

>> I WAS PART OF THE ADVISORY COUNCIL.

LATER ON, THE POLICY REGARDING INDIGENOUS CHILDREN.

WHAT PUSHED ME INTO THAT WAS CURRENTLY THE MR. INDIGENOUS HERE AT ASU.

>> WOW, VERY COOL.

>> EVERYTHING YOU EXPERIENCED THE HIGHS, LOWS, THESE SORTS OF THINGS, WHERE DO THEY CARRY YOU NEXT?

>> IN SPRING OF 2027 I WILL HAVE GRADUATED WITH TWO DEGREES.

ONE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND THE OTHER IN CRIMINOLOGY.

YOU CAN LOOK FOR ME ON THE BALLOT.

>> ONE MORE QUESTION.

DR.KING'S MESSAGE, WHAT HITS YOU THE MOST?

>> WHAT HITS MAINE THE MOST.

HE USED THE QUOTE FROM THE SCRIPTURE.

THE GREATEST AMONG YOU WILL BE YOUR SERVANT.

WHEN I THINK OF THAT SCRIPTURE AND HOW DR.KING USED IT.

I THINK OF HIM THINKING ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO LEAD WITH SERVICE.

THAT'S WHAT HIT ME THE MOST.

>> THAT'S GOOD.

THE SERVICE AWARD THAT FITS IN THERE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUCCESS AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE AWARD.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

THE OD THING, I MAKE MY BED EVERY NIGHT.

A CHEF HAS TO HAVE EVERYTHING ORGANIZED.
