U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a preliminary injunction on Wednesday blocking the Trump administration from enforcing a new executive order limiting birthright citizenship. ^[1] Federal Judge Deborah Boardman issued a 35-page decision on September 3, 2026, blocking the application of President Donald Trump's new executive order. ^[2] Judge Deborah Boardman stated that the executive order is likely unconstitutional because the Supreme Court has already decided that children are citizens at birth. ^[3] President Donald Trump signed a new executive order on August 6 targeting 'birth tourism,' where women travel to the United States to give birth so their children can obtain automatic citizenship. ^[4] The new executive order denies citizenship to children if one of their parents works for a foreign government in the United States, engages in fraud, or is classified as an 'alien enemy.' ^[5] The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's initial effort to end birthright citizenship on June 30, finding it violated the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment. ^[6] The executive order sought to deny automatic citizenship to children born to undocumented parents after February 19, 2025. ^[7]
