Federal judge halts Trump attempt to end birthright citizenship amid legal challenge.
A federal judge issued a nationwide injunction today against former President Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children born on U.S. soil . The ruling blocks immediate implementation, escalating the legal showdown over fundamental constitutional rights.
Trump had proclaimed the measure would secure the border and curb “birth tourism,” but immigration advocates and civil-rights groups quickly filed suit, claiming the policy violates the 14th Amendment protections .
Legal experts are now watching appeals closely. Some suggest the Supreme Court may eventually decide, with national implications for immigration and citizenship laws. Analysts warn Congress may see renewed pressure to legislate on this divisive policy.
Politically, Trump’s attempt aligns with his campaign agenda to reinforce hardline immigration messages to his base. Yet the judicial rebuke highlights the tension between executive reach and constitutional protections.
