A federal appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump's order to terminate birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, thereby upholding a lower court's decision that blocked its nationwide enforcement. This ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals follows a similar judgment by a federal judge in New Hampshire. The decision is significant as it moves the issue closer to being reviewed by the Supreme Court, suggesting that the legal battle over birthright citizenship is far from over.
