A federal appeals court ruled that President Trump's order to eliminate birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, agreeing with a lower court's decision. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the enforcement of the order, which sought to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents illegally or temporarily present in the country. This ruling advances the matter towards a potential review by the Supreme Court.
The district court correctly concluded that the Executive Order's proposed interpretation, denying citizenship to many persons born in the United States, is unconstitutional. We fully agree.
The 9th Circuit blocks the Trump administration from enforcing the order that would deny citizenship to children born to people who are in the United States illegally or temporarily.
