Lower Courts Block Trump's Birthright Citizenship Plan
Tap title to read story
President Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship via executive order has been repeatedly blocked by lower courts. Despite a Supreme Court decision limiting nationwide injunctions, three lower courts issued rulings against the order, citing its unconstitutionality. The Justice Department has not appealed these rulings, leaving the executive order's future uncertain. Legal experts suggest the administration's strategy was to challenge lower court injunctions rather than the policy's constitutionality itself. Further legal challenges are anticipated.
