Judge blocks another effort by Trump to limit birthright citizenship - BBC

After the Supreme Court rejected Trump's original executive order, Trump narrowed his approach, targeting two specific groups: children of people he designated as "alien enemies" and children born to parents engaged in what the order called "birth tourism." The revision was meant to survive legal scrutiny by focusing on narrower categories rather than a sweeping rollback.

It did not work. Judge Deborah Boardman issued a preliminary injunction halting the new order, finding it still runs up against the 14th Amendment's guarantee of automatic citizenship to anyone born on U.S. Soil. The injunction is temporary, meaning the legal fight is far from settled.

For families in Lubbock and across the country who have children born here to non-citizen parents, the ruling keeps current citizenship protections in place for now. The lawsuit was brought by immigration advocates challenging the order's constitutionality, and that case will continue working through the courts.

The 14th Amendment has granted birthright citizenship since 1868. No president has successfully narrowed it through executive action in the more than 150 years since.
