Judge blocks Trump's birthright order nationwide in fourth such ruling since Supreme Court decision

A federal judge in Maryland has ruled the Trump administration cannot withhold citizenship from children born to people in the country illegally or temporarily, issuing the fourth court decision blocking the president’ birthright citizenship order nationwide since a key U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June. U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman’s preliminary injunction was expected after the judge said last month she would issue such an order if the case were returned to her by an appeals court. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sent the case back to her later in July. An email to the White House for comment was not immediately returned.
