A judge in the state of Maryland, USA, issued a nationwide injunction against President Donald Trump's executive order that seeks to prevent birthright citizenship.
In the state of Maryland, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman heard the complaints of five pregnant women who would be left without identity if citizenship by birth were not granted.
STOPPED TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER
As a result of the court ruling, Boardman stated that the executive order signed by President Donald Trump, which halted the practice of granting citizenship to children born in the U.S. to immigrant families, was unconstitutional. Boardman noted that the denial of citizenship rights would lead to irreparable harm and issued a nationwide injunction in this context. She indicated that her decision to block Trump's order to end birthright citizenship contradicted 125 years of Supreme Court precedent.
WAS APPOINTED BY BIDEN
Maryland state judge Deborah Boardman was appointed by former President Joe Biden. It is expected that the Trump administration will appeal the decision to the appellate court, and then the matter will be taken to the Supreme Court for a final decision.
TRUMP SIGNED IT AS SOON AS HE TOOK OFFICE
Every year, approximately 150,000 children in the U.S. gain the right to citizenship because they are born within the country's borders. On January 20, the day of his inauguration, Trump signed an executive order that eliminated the provision granting automatic citizenship to children born in the country. Eighteen Democratic state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against the executive order. It was noted that judges in other states could also issue similar injunctions.
