About the event
Please join HLSA-DC and the HKS DC Alumni Council for a virtual panel discussion on October 30, 2025, exploring recent federal efforts to reinterpret birthright citizenship—the constitutional principle granting U.S. citizenship to anyone born on American soil. This long-established legal standard is now being contested in court as the Department of Justice, acting under a Presidential Executive Order, seeks to restrict or overturn it. The event will feature insights from nationally recognized experts and HKS alumni, Felicia Escobar Carrillo and Adam Hunter.
