Donald Trump's initiative to limit automatic birthright citizenship has encountered another setback as the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected his administration's request to lift an injunction against the executive order. The court underscored that overturning long-standing practices could lead to significant legal and social upheaval. This decision marks the second instance of an appellate court upholding a nationwide injunction against the order, which sought to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to non-citizens, further complicating the already contentious immigration debate.
The 4th US circuit court upheld a federal judge's order against Trump's executive action, critiquing its potential to create unprecedented confusion regarding birthright citizenship.
This ruling highlighted over a century of established law recognizing birthright citizenship, posing questions on the constitutionality of Trump's actions.
