flag ACLU uses Springsteen song in ad against Trump’s birthright citizenship order, ahead of Supreme Court hearing.

flag The ACLU has launched a 30-second ad using Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” to oppose a Trump executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. flag Released ahead of a Supreme Court hearing on April 1, the ad features diverse individuals potentially affected by the ruling and aims to engage the public on the legal battle. flag The campaign originated when ACLU director Anthony Romero spontaneously sang the song during an interview, later securing Springsteen’s permission to use a version recorded during the “Electric Nebraska” sessions. flag The lawsuit challenges the order, previously blocked by lower courts, and underscores the constitutional principle of citizenship for all persons born in the U.S.
