Citizenship and migration DNU declared unconstitutional June 30th 2026

[Che1990]

La Cámara Electoral anuló el DNU de Milei que transfería a Migraciones el otorgamiento de la ciudadanía argentina

El tribunal declaró inconstitucional la reforma por involucrar derechos políticos vedados a los decretos y por no acreditar una urgencia que habilitara evitar el debate parlamentario

We all knew it would happen right. 2 years without leaving Argentina to be eligible?!?

I think La Nacion explains it better https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politic...iones-para-otorgar-la-ciudadania-nid30062026/

Migraciones can’t give citizenship as this grants the chance to gain political power in Argentina is the basis of this ruling it seems.

Wow, that's awesome. So are we looking at it all going back to pre DNU rules? Like marriage to citizenship, etc.

This is not an unconstitutionality that has effects only in one file, this is a nullification. The effect is the DNU never existed. This is like you want to sell someone else appartment, the contracts you sign not being the owner has no legal value. Behind this precedent is a political struggle between Federal Courts, Electoral Courts and DNM.

Excellent news and not far behind the US Supreme Court's denial of Trumps attack on Jus Solis citizenship. I hope it serves to teach both of these egotists that the executive branch is not above the legislative process.

So like completed null and void now ?

My guess: they know these things will be struck down, but for a couple years they enjoy a power their office doesn't normally permit. Think of all those people Trump sent to El Salvador. Are they still there? People affected by Milei's DNU the past year aren't getting compensated; If they skipped their sister's wedding or their dad's funeral there's no redo.
Their supporters don't care if it's legal or not (or will blame the judge's bias for a ruling they don't like).
It's the "move fast, break things" style of governing. Very silicon valley.
For example, people sued OpenAI when they used copyrighted materials as training data, and the LLMs produce results that would violate copyright law if a human did them. Those cases are STILL working their way through courts, nowhere near a decision, and the tech guys now have enough money for endless appeals.
It's just how things are done now.

Like it never existed. All legal relationships go back to June 2025, all deportation orders does not exists.

Permanent residents can once again spend two years out of the country without losing their PR?

Oh dear God, what a mess . Like @mageesa says, it's "move fast and break things" (also, "move fast, and take things"), knowing that by the time the wheels of justice grind the DNU into dust, the landscape and the conversation will have changed. Governance by cynicism. Doind the right thing is no longer an option.

But @Bajo_cero2, if you don't mind, what are the options now for someone (a Venezuelan friend of ours and his family, living in PBA) who would like to start the citizenship process now? Where to go? What to do?
