birthright – Bharat Pulse News

A U.S. federal judge has once again blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to limit birthright citizenship in the United States. The ruling marks the third such nationwide injunction issued against the controversial order since it was signed in January 2025. Court Rejects Partial Enforcement Judge Leo Sorokin of the District Court in Boston upheld a nationwide block on the executive order, stating that anything less would cause confusion and legal inequality across states. He pointed out that families frequently move between states, and differing rules on citizenship could disrupt access to services and legal protections. The judge ruled that the order—intended to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants or temporary visa holders—is likely unconstitutional. His decision emphasized that only a full, national injunction could effectively preserve rights guaranteed under the Fourteenth Amendment. Broader Legal Pushback Similar rulings have been issued by federal courts in California and New Hampshire. In one case, a judge allowed a class-action suit to proceed while placing a preliminary ban on enforcing the policy. Another appeals court upheld that Trump’s executive order conflicted with established constitutional protections. The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution affirms that all individuals born or naturalized in the country are U.S. citizens. Legal experts argue that the executive order directly violates this provision. Government Response and Next Steps The U.S. Department of Justice has announced plans to challenge the rulings, defending the administration’s interpretation of the Constitution. However, until the appeals are heard, the executive order remains blocked. The matter is expected to return to the Supreme Court for further clarity on whether a president can unilaterally alter the interpretation of birthright citizenship under existing constitutional law.
