A federal judge has blocked Donald Trump’s executive order that seeks to unilaterally redefine who gets to be a citizen, paving the way for another major Supreme Court case involving the president’s birthright citizenship challenge.
Several courts have already struck down the president’s attempt to block citizenship from newborn Americans who are born to certain immigrant parents. But the Supreme Court last month determined those judges went too far by issuing nationwide injunctions instead of applying the rulings to only the states and plaintiffs who sued the administration.
