WASHINGTON \u2014 A federal judge pumped the brakes on President Trump\u2019s latest effort to rein in birthright citizenship through executive order, citing the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling against his first attempt.<\/p>\n

Maryland-based US District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a preliminary injunction Wednesday temporarily blocking Trump\u2019s scaled-down executive orders last month to stop birth tourism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2026 Executive Order is almost certainly unconstitutional \u2026 for the simple reason that the Supreme Court in Barbara already decided that the children in the class are citizens at birth,\u201d Boardman, a Biden appointee, wrote in the opinion \u2014 referring to the Supreme Court case, Trump v. Barbara, that struck down his first attempt.<\/p>\n

Last month, Trump signed two executive orders, the first of which identified a list of children who were not eligible for automatic birthright citizenship and the second called on both the Secretary of Homeland Security and Secretary of State to stop birth tourism \u2014 the practice of traveling to the US to have a baby on American soil.<\/p>\n

Those executive orders came in response to the Supreme Court shutting down Trump\u2019s Jan. 20, 2025 directive to end birthright citizenship for the US-born children of birth tourists and illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

It appeared aimed at expanding preexisting exceptions for birthright citizenship, such as blocking the children of foreign diplomats or invaders from getting citizenship automatically.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s second order called for agencies to not recognize the citizenship of children born under specific conditions, including birth tourism. <\/p>\n

Recently, the State Department moved to impose a proof of citizenship or immigration status for individuals seeking to apply for US passports on behalf of their children.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s decision concluded that the executive order violated the Fourteenth Amendment, which stipulates \u201cAll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s August orders were seemingly aimed at the fact that some of the dissenting justices appeared particularly perturbed about the high court\u2019s finding on birth tourism. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe crafted the EO around, and in concurrence, and understanding what the Supreme Court said in their decision. And so we expected\u2014 we didn\u2019t expect this judge to say we were right,\u201d Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News\u2019 Laura Ingraham on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

A nonprofit, CASA Inc, had sued to block Trump\u2019s latest attempt to limit birthright citizenship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just another ruling from an activist judge appointed by Biden attempting to thwart President Trump\u2019s commonsense agenda,\u201d White House spokesperson Lauren Bis said in a statement to The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe birthright citizenship executive order is consistent with the holdings and analysis set forth by the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n
