On April 1, I was inside the Supreme Court for Barbara v. Trump.
As a stateless person, listening to arguments about who gets to belong—just feet away from the President—was surreal. This is not abstract. It is personal.
Outside the Court, United Stateless stood alongside two of our leaders:
Miliyon Ethiopis (left), who was stripped of his citizenship and continues to live without nationality.
Henry Pachnowski (right), who became a U.S. citizen at 83 after a lifetime of statelessness, and
What's At Stake?
United Stateless attorneys Betsy Fisher and Samantha Sitterley also published an op-ed on what the Supreme Court did not ask: statelessness.
