US EditionFederal Judge Seeks Clarity on Whether Birthright Citizenship Order Means Babies Could Be Deported
- On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling that allowed President Trump's directive aimed at limiting automatic citizenship for those born on U.S. soil to begin implementation in certain states.
- The ruling followed lower courts' nationwide injunctions blocking the order in three states and around 20 others issuing similar freezes, causing confusion among immigrants and advocates.

- Legal challenges continue as a federal judge in Maryland requested Justice Department assurances not to deport affected children during the Supreme Court's 30-day enforcement pause, reflecting ongoing uncertainty over the order's impact.
