Summary
A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to restrict birthright citizenship, issuing a preliminary injunction against an executive order targeting certain categories of children born in the United States, including cases involving “birth tourism.”

The ruling follows the Supreme Court’s rejection of an earlier attempt in June. Under the 14th Amendment, people born on U.S. soil are generally citizens at birth. The judge concluded that the children covered by the lawsuit remain entitled to citizenship under existing constitutional law.
