Judge Deborah Boardman has indefinitely blocked Donald Trump’s executive order that sought to eliminate birthright citizenship ruling the order is in conflict with the 14th Amendment and “contradicts 125-year-old binding Supreme Court precedent.”
A Federal District Court judge in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction on Wednesday blocking President Trump’s attempt to eliminate automatic U.S. citizenship for children born to undocumented or temporary immigrants on U.S. soil.

From the New York Times:
A federal judge in Maryland issued a nationwide injunction blocking President Trump’s executive order that sought to unilaterally eliminate automatic citizenship for children born to undocumented or temporary immigrants on U.S. soil.
The preliminary injunction is a more durable block than the 14-day restraining order issued last month by a court in Seattle.
In most cases, a preliminary injunction remains in force until a case is resolved or a higher court overturns it.
Last month, Federal District Court Judge John C. Coughenour issued his temporary block saying, “This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”
A second judge rules against Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship: “No court in the country has ever endorsed the president’s interpretation. This court will not be the first,” the judge said. (via my colleague Daniel Barnes)
