Trump’s executive order, signed in January, seeks to deny citizenship to children who are born to people who are living in the U.S. illegally or temporarily. It is part of the hard-line immigration agenda of the president, who has called birthright citizenship a “magnet for illegal immigration.”

Barely two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court limited the use of nationwide injunctions by federal judges, a federal judge once again blocked President Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship from going into effect nationwide.
