Boardman, issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against President Trump’s executive order attempting to eliminate automatic U.S. citizenship for children born to undocumented or temporary immigrants.

The injunction affects numerous pregnant women and emphasizes the inconsistency of Trump’s order with U.S. law and history. The affected plaintiffs are represented by legal advocates committed to immigrant rights, solidifying the opposition against the administration's policies on citizenship.
