TRUMP NEWEST ORDER LIMITING BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP BLOCKED

 A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a new executive order limiting the number of people eligible for birthright citizenship that President Donald Trump issued after the US Supreme Court rejected his previous effort.
US District Judge Deborah Boardman in Greenbelt, Maryland, issued a preliminary injunction at the request of immigrant rights advocates who had last year secured a ruling from her blocking the Trump administration from enforcing his initial 2025 executive order curtailing birthright citizenship.
The US Supreme Court on 30 June rejected that initial effort to end birthright citizenship for children whose parents were not American citizens or legal permanent residents, known as green card holders, finding it violated the citizenship clause of the US Constitution's 14th Amendment.
The clause, which was the focus of the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in Barbara v. Trump, confers citizenship to those born in the United States who are "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
Following that decision, Trump signed a new order on 6 August that took particular aim at "birth tourism," in which women travel to the United States to give birth so their children ‌can obtain automatic citizenship.
Citizenship would also be denied to children if one of their parents works for foreign governments in the United States, engages in fraud or a commercial transaction to obtain citizenship, or is classified as an "alien enemy."
After he signed that order, lawyers pursuing a class-action lawsuit on behalf of babies who would be deprived citizenship under Trump's 2025 order asked Boardman to block enforcement of the Republican president's newest order, and ensure their clients' citizenship continued to be honored.
