Lawyers
for immigrant families denied birth certificates for their U.S.-born
children by Texas health officials who refuse to recognize as valid
certain forms of identification
will argue for a federal judge to intervene against the state.
A
federal judge in Austin will hear their case Friday as they seek an
emergency injunction. The lawyers say harm is being done to the families
and their children who need
birth certificates to enroll in school and ensure parental rights.
Dozens
of families and children sued the Texas Department of State Health
Services after local authorities refused various foreign
identifications. The state agency wants
the suit dismissed.
The
parents, from Mexico and Central America, aren’t U.S. citizens. The
Constitution guarantees the right of citizenship to their children
because they were U.S-born.
