Birthright citizenship debate returns to court in the US
In Maryland, federal judge Deborah Boardman has not yet blocked the implementation of President Donald Trump's new decision to restrict birthright citizenship. The judge said there were serious questions about the regulation's legal basis.
Federal Judge Deborah Boardman rejected the request of immigration‑rights advocates to halt the new executive order signed by Trump on 6 Ağustos.
Boardman said the current case did not cover Trump's 2026 order and that she could not halt enforcement at this stage. However, she allowed the plaintiffs to update their filings.
The judge noted that the regulation attempts to eliminate certain birth‑right citizenship exceptions with a 'single‑stroke' approach, saying the decision was unprecedented.
The Supreme Court decision is in the news.
The U.S. Supreme Court had blocked Trump's 2025 order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship on 30 Haziran.
Trump’s new order specifically targets birth tourism. The regulation is expected to cover children of certain foreign government employees and individuals alleged to have committed fraud to obtain citizenship.
Federal agencies are expected to publish guidance on implementation by September 5.
