Federal Appeals Court Upholds Block on Trump Birthright Citizenship
A federal appeals court in Massachusetts today upheld a block on President Trump’s executive order that seeks to strip babies born in the United States of their U.S. citizenship. The case is New Hampshire Indonesian Community Support v. Donald J. Trump.
