Judge blocks Trump's birthright citizenship restrictions in third ruling since high court decision
Briefly

A federal judge, Leo Sorokin, issued an order blocking the Trump administration from ending birthright citizenship for children of parents who are in the U.S. illegally. This marks the third ruling blocking the birthright order since a Supreme Court decision in June. Sorokin's ruling maintains a nationwide injunction that multiple states argue is necessary due to perceived threats to millions in health insurance services. Lawyers for the government sought to limit the scope of this injunction, but Sorokin determined a narrower option would not adequately protect the plaintiffs.
U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin blocked the Trump administration's attempt to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents, reinforcing a nationwide injunction.
The ruling aligns with other court decisions that consider Trump's birthright citizenship order to be unconstitutional and a threat to state health insurance services.
