Abogada Lorena® Rivas Urges Action Ahead of Supreme Court Citizenship Ruling

With changes to U.S. laws on Birthright Citizenship expected, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas of Rivas & Associates encourages immigrants to quickly seek legal guidance.

As the Supreme Court Weighs Major Changes to U.S. Birthright Citizenship, Rivas & Associates Urges Immigrant Families To Seek Legal Guidance Immediately

TULSA, OK, UNITED STATES, May 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Following the highly anticipated U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments on April 1, 2026, regarding birthright citizenship, Rivas & Associates is calling on immigrant communities to stay informed and proactively seek legal guidance. The nationally recognized, Tulsa-based immigration law firm is actively analyzing developments in the case in Washington, D.C., and advising impacted individuals nationwide on how potential policy shifts could affect their families.

The Supreme Court case centers on an effort by the Trump administration to restrict birthright citizenship, arguing that the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause should only apply to children whose parents are already U.S. citizens. For over a century, established legal precedent has dictated that virtually everyone born on U.S. soil automatically receives citizenship, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Civil rights organizations, including the ACLU, have fiercely defended this long-standing interpretation during the recent hearings.

With a final decision expected later this summer, likely in June or early July, the implications are monumental. According to national estimates, more than 250,000 children are born in the United States each year to non-citizen parents, and there are currently more than four million U.S. citizen children born to parents without citizenship.

Senior Attorney and CEO Abogada Lorena^® Rivas recently shared her legal insights on the situation during an interview with Fox 23, emphasizing that existing case law has consistently recognized children of immigrants as U.S. citizens. However, she understands the deep anxiety these hearings have triggered within the community.

"As the proud daughter of Mexican nationals who built a life in Mutual, Oklahoma, I know firsthand that the uncertainty surrounding immigration policies doesn't just impact legal statuses; it impacts real families, hopes, and futures," said Abogada Lorena^® Rivas. "The arguments made before the Supreme Court challenging the 14th Amendment are understandably alarming. Our firm is closely monitoring these developments, but we cannot afford to just wait and see. We strongly encourage individuals, especially those in mixed-status households, to consult with legal professionals now to explore any available avenues for immigration relief before a ruling is issued."

While the outcome remains uncertain, taking proactive steps is crucial. Changes in the interpretation of the 14th Amendment could profoundly alter future eligibility and legal options for millions of families. Rivas & Associates remains dedicated to breaking down complex legal barriers and providing the high-level representation, education, and affirmative strategies needed to protect the rights of immigrants.
