Judiciary comments on US birthright citizenship
A federal judge in Maryland has barred former U.S. President Donald Trump's attempt to limit the right to U.S. citizenship by birth. The court issued a temporary restraining order against an executive order, which officials say targets what is known as "birth tourism." The court confirmed that the current law, which grants citizenship to children born on American soil, inherited from the 1868 Fourteenth Amendment, remains in effect. Trump's previous efforts to revoke or restrict this right, including executive orders, had been previously overturned by the Supreme Court. The latest attempt in August to impose restrictions on granting citizenship to individuals with ties to foreign embassies or organizations, or those considered "foreign enemies," was also halted by the current court ruling, preventing the implementation of these measures.
