Judge Blocks Trump’s Latest Birthright Citizenship Order
Federal court again halts White House effort to narrow automatic citizenship for children born in the United States
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief
GREENBELT, Md. (Worthy News) – A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from enforcing its latest executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, marking another legal setback in President Donald Trump’s effort to redefine who qualifies as an American citizen at birth.
U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a preliminary injunction from the federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland, siding with immigrant-rights groups that challenged the administration’s revised order. The groups argued the policy would deny citizenship to certain children born in the United States whose parents are in the country illegally or only temporarily.
The ruling comes after earlier court battles over Trump’s 2025 executive order on birthright citizenship, which also faced broad legal challenges. The Supreme Court’s earlier decision limited the power of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions, but it did not end the constitutional fight over the meaning of the 14th Amendment.
Trump and his supporters have argued that birthright citizenship has been stretched far beyond its original intent, particularly in cases involving illegal immigration and so-called birth tourism. Critics counter that the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause has long been understood to grant citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil.
Boardman had declined last week to immediately block the newer order, saying the plaintiffs’ original lawsuit did not yet address the administration’s 2026 directive. After the challenge was updated, she moved to halt enforcement while the case proceeds.
The case now adds to a growing legal confrontation over immigration, executive power, and the reach of the 14th Amendment. For the Trump administration, the fight is far from over. But for now, the courts have again slowed one of the president’s most aggressive attempts to reshape U.S. immigration policy through executive action.
