Judge blocks Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions in third ruling since high court decision
UNITED STATES, JUL 26 – U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin upheld a nationwide injunction against Trump's order, citing constitutional precedent and financial impacts on states, marking the third such court block.
- On Friday, U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin issued a nationwide injunction preventing the Trump administration from terminating birthright citizenship for children born to parents residing in the U.S. without legal status, marking the third such judicial ruling following an important Supreme Court decision in June.
- The ruling comes after a San Francisco appeals court on Wednesday determined that the president’s executive order violates the 14th Amendment, which, ratified in 1868, guarantees citizenship to anyone born or naturalized in the United States.
- Judge Sorokin upheld a court order issued on behalf of more than a dozen states that blocks the government from terminating automatic citizenship, reinforcing previous judicial rulings and the constitutional protections of the 14th Amendment.
- Sorokin stated that the evidence does not justify concluding that any less broad alternative would effectively prevent the plaintiffs from experiencing the harms they are likely to face, while also acknowledging that Trump and his administration have the right to pursue their own constitutional interpretation.
- The case is anticipated to proceed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which may clarify the extent of presidential authority on immigration and decide whether lower courts should maintain broad injunctions against the executive order nationwide.
