A United States District Judge has issued a nationwide injunction against President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. This decision, which marks a significant legal setback for Trump, argues that the order is likely unconstitutional and contradicts long-standing American legal principles.

Judge Deborah Boardman, appointed by President Joe Biden, stated in a 32-page opinion that the order conflicts with the 14th Amendment and over 100 years of Supreme Court precedent. Boardman highlighted that the order would create “irreparable injury” to families, particularly pregnant women, whose children could be denied the rights granted by U.S. citizenship.

As the case continues, legal experts suggest the matter could eventually reach the Supreme Court. In the meantime, the injunction brings temporary relief to families concerned about the future of their children’s citizenship status. Will the U.S. Supreme Court uphold the ruling or support the president’s executive order?
