A federal judge has issued a second nationwide pause on President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants. U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman emphasized that citizenship is a precious right under the 14th Amendment and stated that no other court has upheld the administration's interpretation. The ruling comes as part of a broader legal challenge, with multiple states involved. Advocacy groups and expectant mothers initiated the lawsuit, and Judge Boardman has mandated that further hearings in this matter will occur later in the week.
Citizenship is a most precious right, expressly granted by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
No court in the country has endorsed the Trump administration's interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
Only a nationwide injunction will provide complete relief to the plaintiffs.
That temporary hold is set to expire on Thursday.
