A federal judge has blocked President Trump’s recent executive order to end birthright citizenship following a ruling by the Supreme Court. The decision, made by Judge Sarah Walker of the District Court for the District of Columbia, comes after a legal challenge was brought against the administration’s attempt to limit who qualifies for citizenship based on birthright.
The executive order, issued by President Trump in response to what he referred to as “birth tourism,” sought to deny citizenship to children born in the United States to non-citizen parents. The order was met with criticism from various groups, including civil rights organizations and immigration advocates, who argued that it contradicted the long-standing interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.
Judge Walker’s ruling considered the Supreme Court’s previous decisions on the matter, notably the 1898 case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which affirmed birthright citizenship. In her decision, Judge Walker emphasized the importance of upholding the Constitution and historical precedent in matters of citizenship.
The Department of Justice, representing the Trump administration, expressed disappointment with the ruling and indicated that they are considering next steps, which could include an appeal to a higher court. The plaintiffs, on the other hand, hailed the decision as a victory for the rule of law and the protection of constitutional rights.
The case is likely to continue through the legal system, with the ultimate decision potentially shaping the interpretation of birthright citizenship in the United States for years to come.
