A federal judge blocked a new attempt by President Donald Trump to end birthright citizenship in the United States. This was the second time federal courts rejected Trump's ambitious plans to abolish a constitutional right.
The US Supreme Court had previously blocked an attempt by the executive branch to abolish the right of children born to parents without legal residency status. The latest decision represents another significant obstacle to the Trump administration's immigration policies.
The federal judge, whose name is not mentioned in the article, based the decision on established constitutional principles. The right to birthright citizenship is protected by the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
