Judge Blocks Trump's Executive Order Narrowing Birthright Citizenship
- U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman temporarily blocked Trump's latest executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, citing its likely unconstitutionality under the 14th Amendment.
- The ruling applies to a certified class of legal challengers and prevents enforcement of the order, which sought to deny citizenship to children of 'alien enemies' and those involved in 'birth tourism.'
- Judge Boardman emphasized that the Supreme Court's previous ruling against a similar order remains 'the law of the land,' reinforcing that children in the certified class are citizens at birth.
