Federal judge blocks Trump's attempt to limit birthright citizenship

In the United States, a federal judge blocked President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship. U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman ruled that the order conflicts with a Supreme Court decision affirming that children born in the U.S. to unlawfully present parents are citizens at birth. The ruling grants a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of the order, preserving the rights of affected children while the case proceeds.
