Judge blocks restrictions on birthright citizenship
A federal judge blocked an executive order issued by U.S. President Donald Trump aimed at reducing birthright citizenship in an attempt to curb the phenomenon of "birth tourism," where foreigners enter the United States with the goal of giving birth so their children automatically acquire U.S. citizenship. Judge Deborah Burdumann confirmed that the order is nearly unconstitutional, pending the completion of legal challenges by human rights organizations. This step is part of Trump's broader efforts to limit illegal immigration, after the Supreme Court previously rejected his challenge regarding the principle of birthright citizenship.
