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.
