Overview
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld a lower court's ruling blocking President Trump's executive order that sought to end birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants. The court found that the Justice Department did not demonstrate a strong chance of succeeding on appeal, adhering to the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment. This follows previous blocks by district courts across the country, with further legal arguments scheduled for June. Trump's order, viewed by many as unconstitutional, could affect over 150,000 children born annually in the U.S.
