Actually, the 14th Amendment still exists
Trump signed an executive order purporting to rewrite birthright citizenship. That's not how the Constitution works.

One of many, many write ups on US coverage of Nazi Germany prior to their involvement in the war, focusing on the worst offender: the New York Times.

Silence in the Storm: The New York Times' Coverage of the Holocaust During WWII
The New York Times, which began publishing in 1851, is regarded as one of the world's best newspapers. Its reputation for reliable, comprehensive coverage was secure by the early 1940s.

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.
