A federal judge has blocked Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing an executive order targeting birthright citizenship after the president lost a landmark Supreme Court case challenging his attempt to unilaterally redefine who gets to be a citizen.
Trump signed executive orders last month taking aim at children who were born to employees of foreign governments as well as the children of mothers who are accused of lying about their intentions for visiting the country while pregnant. The orders also would block citizenship to children whose parents are accused of being terrorists, as well as newborns in U.S. territories.
