On Wednesday, a federal judge in Maryland granted a preliminary injunction blocking an executive order from President Trump that sought to restrict birthright citizenship. U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued the ruling in response to a legal challenge brought by two immigration advocacy groups.
The executive order represents another attempt by the Trump administration to alter the implementation of birthright citizenship, a policy that has faced ongoing legal scrutiny and opposition from civil rights and immigration organizations. The preliminary injunction halts the enforcement of the directive while the underlying litigation proceeds in court.
