A federal appeals court upheld an injunction blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order that aims to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to noncitizen parents. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Justice Department’s request to reinstate the order, marking the first time an appellate court has ruled on this issue.
Lower courts in Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire have issued similar rulings, with ongoing appeals in these cases.
