Judge blocks Trump's renewed birthright citizenship crackdown

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump’s August executive order that would narrow birthright citizenship, preventing enforcement while agencies draft guidance. The court said the policy is likely unconstitutional in light of the Supreme Court’s summer ruling striking down his earlier attempt to end birthright citizenship, and it covers the class of children who would have been denied citizenship under the first order. A separate New Hampshire case challenging the policy is still pending. Trump has signaled he may appeal to the Supreme Court if needed.
