4th judge blocks Trump's birthright citizenship order
When the Supreme Court earlier this year limited the scope of nationwide injunctions by district judges in the case involving President Donald Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, an avenue left open was for courts to seek nationwide class action involving children born to non-citizens.
Now in a ruling issued Thursday, the Maryland federal judge in that original case has certified a class and enjoined the executive order from taking effect while the question of a constitutional right to birthright citizenship continues to play out in court.
U.S. District Court Judge Deborah Boardman is now the fourth judge to continue to block Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship.
