U.S. courts halt Trump’s citizenship rule
A federal judge in Maryland temporarily blocked former U.S. President Donald Trump's attempt to restrict rights related to granting U.S. citizenship by birth. The halt is in place until a class-action lawsuit filed by immigrant families and human rights organizations is resolved. Trump had repeatedly sought to diminish the right of children born in the United States to obtain citizenship. The Supreme Court previously rejected his earlier attempt in June, and in August, he attempted again to impose restrictions through an executive order aiming to limit citizenship for children born to individuals connected with foreign embassies or organizations, or those labeled as enemies of the United States.
