A federal appeals court in Boston has blocked the Trump administration's attempt to deny citizenship to children born to undocumented parents in the U.S. This ruling marks the fifth federal court to issue or uphold an order against the president's birthright policy. The court affirmed that these children are likely entitled to birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. The case, which challenges the constitutionality of the policy, is expected to proceed to the Supreme Court.
