Judge blocks Trump's last attempt to limit birthright citizenship

SAPO Notícias3 September 2026 at 05:38

A federal judge blocked on Wednesday the President of the United States, Donald Trump's, last attempt to limit birthright citizenship, through an executive order intended to combat "maternity tourism." The decision represents a new chapter in the legal battle over citizenship rights in the United States, where the Constitution guarantees citizenship to any person born on American soil. The judge suspended the executive order that would have automatically affected children born in the US to parents who are not citizens or legal residents. The Trump administration has attempted multiple times to restrict the right to birthright citizenship, but has faced consistent resistance from the courts.

Judge blocks Trump's last attempt to stop 'birth tourism'

A federal judge in the United States suspended the application of Donald Trump's decree aimed at combating the so-called 'birth tourism', a practice in which pregnant foreign women travel to the country to give birth and ensure American citizenship for their children. The decision is based on the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, which automatically grants citizenship to all persons born on American soil, as well as existing Supreme Court jurisprudence. This is the last attempt by the Trump administration to limit birth rights in the United States, a measure that has generated great legal and political controversy.
