Federal Judge Says She Would Block Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order Nationwide
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Federal judges granted class action status blocking an order that would deny citizenship to children born to parents living in the U.S. illegally, citing constitutional challenges under the 14th Amendment.
- On July 16, 2025, Judge Deborah Boardman of the U.S. District Court indicated she plans to grant class action status and issue a nationwide injunction against President Trump's directive limiting birthright citizenship.
- The January directive would prevent newborns from acquiring citizenship if their parents are residing in the U.S. temporarily or without legal authorization, while earlier court decisions questioned the scope of nationwide injunctions.
- Last week in New Hampshire, U.S. District Judge Joseph LaPlante granted a preliminary injunction, approved a class action for all impacted children, and blocked the nationwide implementation of the order.
- Boardman explained that issuing a prompt decision would streamline the judicial process and allow the Fourth Circuit to address the substantive issues of the class-wide injunction at an earlier stage.
- These rulings fast-track the birthright citizenship issue toward the Supreme Court, which could rule on whether the order complies with restrictions on nationwide injunctions.
