Judge Halts Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order Across the U.S.
A federal judge in New Hampshire delivered a significant blow to President Donald Trump’s efforts to restrict birthright citizenship. On Thursday, the judge issued a nationwide injunction, effectively pausing the President’s executive order that aimed to end the practice.
Nationwide Impact: Order Cannot Be Enforced
The ruling prevents the Trump administration from enforcing the executive order anywhere in the United States. This means that children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents will continue to be recognized as citizens, at least for the time being.
Legal Challenge and Future Implications
This legal challenge raises fundamental questions about the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment and the power of the executive branch to alter long-standing principles of citizenship. The future of birthright citizenship and the ultimate fate of the executive order remain uncertain as this case progresses through the courts.
