Federal judge says she would block Trump’s birthright citizenship order nationwide
July 16, 2025
A federal judge in Maryland may soon become the second to block President Donald Trump’s order restricting birthright citizenship from taking effect nationwide. The judge said she would certify a class including all children affected by the order and grant a preliminary injunction blocking it. But she did not immediately rule, noting a previous decision of hers to block the order was on appeal. A federal judge in New Hampshire issued a ruling last week prohibiting Trump’s executive order from taking effect nationwide.
