Fourth court ruling blocks Trump’s birthright citizenship order nationwide
A federal judge in Maryland blocked President Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions nationwide on Thursday, marking the fourth court ruling to do so after the Supreme Court limited the use of universal injunctions.
Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, had previously indicated she would issue a nationwide block but lacked jurisdiction until the appeals court sent the case back to her last week. She ruled that the only way to fully protect the certified class in the case was to stop enforcement of the executive order for all affected children in the U.S.
The order, signed on Trump’s first day in office, restricts birthright citizenship for children born on U.S. soil if neither parent has permanent legal status. Courts consistently have found this order violates the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.
The case involves two immigration organizations and eight pregnant or new mothers challenging the order, arguing that a partial injunction would be ineffective. Similar nationwide blocks were previously issued by an appeals court and federal judges in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
