Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship

President Donald Trump’s recent executive order to end birthright citizenship has hit a major legal setback. Today, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order, blocking the policy after it was challenged by numerous states. The judge declared that Trump’s order was "blatantly unconstitutional," siding with two dozen Democratic-led states and cities that filed lawsuits against it. These lawsuits argue that the order violates the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to all children born on U.S. soil.

The judge’s ruling prevents the administration from implementing the policy for the next 14 days, giving time for further legal proceedings. This decision marks an early defeat for Trump’s controversial move, which had sparked intense debate across the nation. The executive order sought to end the automatic citizenship granted to children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents, a right that has been upheld for over a century.

With the legal battle now in full swing, the outcome of this case could have wide-reaching implications for U.S. immigration law and constitutional rights.
