Judge blocks Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions in third ruling since high court decision

UNITED STATES, JUL 26 – U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin upheld a nationwide injunction against Trump's order, citing constitutional precedent and financial impacts on states, marking the third such court block.

  • On Friday, U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin issued a ruling preventing the Trump administration from terminating birthright citizenship nationwide for children born to parents residing in the country unlawfully.
  • This ruling follows a San Francisco appeals court decision on Wednesday and comes after a key Supreme Court ruling in June that left the core constitutional question unresolved.
  • Judge Sorokin upheld a nationwide injunction involving numerous states under a Supreme Court exception, while plaintiffs contended that the order endangers funding for critical health programs reliant on citizenship.
  • Sorokin stated that the evidence does not justify the conclusion that a more limited measure could effectively safeguard the plaintiffs from the harm they have demonstrated, and he ruled the executive order unconstitutional in relation to this case.
  • The case is likely to return quickly to the Supreme Court, which will ultimately decide the constitutional scope of birthright citizenship and related presidential authority.
