The Boss is lending his voice to the American Civil Liberties Union in the name of birthright citizenship.
A week before the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments in Trump v. Barbara, the landmark birthright-citizenship case, the ACLU has shared a one-minute video set to Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." The video, released Monday, March 23, features Americans of a variety of cultural backgrounds.
"We're honored that the one and only Bruce Springsteen trusted us with use of his iconic anthem ahead of our landmark Supreme Court case Trump v. Barbara, where we're challenging President Trump's attempt to take away the constitutional right to birthright citizenship," the ACLU captioned the video.
The nonprofit said they purchased airtime for the video during "MLB Opening Day," "Survivor," "American Idol" and other programs.
The Supreme Court will decide if President Donald Trump can end birthright citizenship for some children born in the U.S., after a controversial January 2025 executive order. The high court agreed to review a lower court's rejection of Trump's argument that children of parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily are not entitled to citizenship.
