At Immigrantly, we go beyond surface-level diversity to explore how culture, immigration, and inclusion shape real lives.

What does it really mean to be an American? In this riveting episode of Immigrantly, host Saadia Khan takes us on a powerful journey from the landmark 1898 Supreme Court case of Wong Kim Ark to Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. Through historical context, legal nuance, and racial reckoning, Saadia explores the fragility of the 14th Amendment and what’s at stake for immigrant families today. Timely, urgent, and deeply personal, this episode challenges us to confront who gets to belong in America and who decides.
