Judge Blocks New Trump Bid Against Birthright Citizenship – US Politics Live US District Judge Deborah Boardman has blocked President Trump's latest attempt to restrict birthright citizenship, dealing another blow to the administration's efforts to limit immigration.
The decision follows the US Supreme Court's rejection of Trump's previous effort and highlights the limits of his power when it comes to shaping policy through executive orders.
The Trump administration's executive order aimed at preventing individuals from entering the country under false pretenses – specifically, those who allegedly travel for the purpose of giving birth – is widely seen as a thinly veiled attempt to restrict immigration.
