A federal judge in Maryland, Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, has issued a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking President Donald Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship in the United States. Judge Boardman ruled that the order is likely unconstitutional, stating that the 'denial of the precious right to citizenship will cause irreparable harm,' and halting its implementation indefinitely. This marks the second time a federal judge has blocked the administration's effort to redefine the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. The injunction comes amid legal challenges, including the CASA v. Trump lawsuit, from pregnant women and immigrant rights groups who argue that the executive order would deny citizenship rights to their children.
