Court blocks President Trump’s latest effort to restrict birthright citizenship

The Associated Press reports that U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman in Maryland yesterday issued an injunction until a class-action lawsuit brought by immigrant families and advocacy groups is resolved.  She blocked President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to limit birthright citizenship, enjoining an executive order targeting “birth tourism.” "The 2026 Executive Order is almost certainly unconstitutional as applied to the certified class for the simple reason that the Supreme Court in Barbara already decided that the children in the class are citizens at birth. This Court must, once again, preliminarily enjoin enforcement of the President’s most recent attempt to strip the right to citizenship from them."

“The Supreme Court has spoken: Children in the certified class are ‘citizens at birth,’” Boardman wrote in the ruling.
