Birthright citizenship is a foundational right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. On June 30, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a landmark ruling in Trump v. Barbara, reaffirming that individuals born on U.S. soil are citizens at birth, regardless of their parents' immigration status.
As immigration policies continue to evolve rapidly, staying informed is vital for our community. Join the Washington Immigrant Network (WIN) for our next General Membership Meeting as we host a crucial discussion on what you need to know about birthright citizenship in today’s legal and political landscape.

ICSEW and BRG Book Club
Hello Book Club!
The Washington Immigration Network (WIN) is hosting our next read: Solito, A memoir by Javier Zamora. Javier Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks but instead lasts two life-altering months.
