Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order has blocked for a second time and still faces more lawsuits.
—
A federal judge in Maryland on Wednesday issued a temporary, nationwide hold on President Donald Trump’s order to restrict birthright citizenship until the case makes its way through the courts.
“The executive order conflicts with the plain language of the 14th Amendment, contradicts 125-year-old binding Supreme Court precedent and runs counter to our nation’s 250-year history of citizenship by birth,” said U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman, according to NBC News. “No court in the country has ever endorsed the president’s interpretation. This court will not be the first.”
