A judge blocks Trump’s new bid to curb birthright citizenship, citing Supreme Court precedent
The ruling bars federal agencies from denying citizenship to covered children as the judge said 2026 is almost certainly unconstitutional.
- 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.
