Judge declines block on Trump citizenship order
A federal judge declined to immediately block President Trump's new birthright citizenship order. The judge questioned its legal viability following a recent Supreme Court ruling. Plaintiffs may supplement their complaint.
A federal judge in Greenbelt, Maryland, declined on Friday afternoon to immediately block the United States administration's new executive order restricting birthright citizenship. Immigrant rights advocates sought a temporary restraining order following the August 6 directive targeting birth tourism. U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman ruled that the current lawsuit omitted the 2026 directive, preventing an immediate injunction.
