UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – Federal judges in Boston and New Hampshire continue to block enforcement of Trump’s order amid legal challenges citing constitutional concerns and potential state administrative burdens.
- On January 20, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at preventing automatic U.S. citizenship from being granted to children born on American soil whose parents are in the country unlawfully or on a temporary basis.

- The order remains blocked nationwide with no appeals filed, and the case is expected to return quickly to the Supreme Court for further review.
