NPR  

Maryland federal judge blocks Trump's birthright citizenship order toggle caption Rod Lamkey/CNP /MediaPunch/Alamy A federal judge in Maryland on Wednesday blocked President Trump's executive order to end citizenship for children born on U.S. soil to parents in the country without legal status. The nationwide preliminary injunction by U.S District Judge Deborah Boardman further expands a ruling two weeks ago by another federal court in Seattle that blocked the president's order for 14 days. Sponsor Message In most cases, a preliminary injunction like the one issued by Judge Boardman's is in effect until the case is heard, or a higher court reverses the ruling. The president has argued that children born to parents in the U.S. without legal status should not get automatic U.S. citizenship.
