A judge blocks Trump’s new bid to curb birthright citizenship, citing Supreme Court precedent
- On Wednesday, Maryland District Judge Deborah Boardman blocked President Donald Trump's latest executive order limiting birthright citizenship, granting a preliminary injunction to immigrant rights advocates.
- This ruling follows the Supreme Court's rejection of Trump's initial 2025 effort, which the administration sought to revive through an August 6 order targeting 'birth tourism.'
- Boardman called the directive 'almost certainly unconstitutional,' noting it contradicts the 14th Amendment and the high court's recent ruling that children born in the United States are citizens.
- The injunction protects babies represented by the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project and CASA, ensuring their citizenship status remains honored while litigation continues.
- Justice Department attorneys previously argued the lawsuit was premature, as federal agencies have yet to issue public implementation guidance expected by September 5.

US judge blocks Trump’s newest order limiting birthright citizenship
A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a new executive order limiting the number of people eligible for birthright citizenship that President Donald Trump issued after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his previous effort.
Boardman had rejected just a few days earlier an application from CASA Inc., a Maryland-based non-profit organization and plaintiff in the case, to temporarily block Trump's executive order.
Trump's dispute with the U.S. Justice over citizenship continues at birth. After the Supreme Court declared its first decree unconstitutional in June, a federal judge stopped a new push by the President.
