Federal Judge Deborah L. Boardman issued a preliminary injunction on Wednesday blocking President Donald Trump's executive order attempting to limit birthright citizenship. ^[1] Judge Deborah L. Boardman, designated by President Joe Biden, ruled that the executive order violates the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court precedent stating children in the collective action are citizens at birth. ^[2] Judge Boardman ruled that children in the certified class are 'citizens at birth' under the Fourteenth Amendment, supporting the claims of immigrant families and advocacy groups. ^[3] Judge Boardman rejected the government's argument, stating the executive order instructs agencies to deny citizenship documents to several categories of children regardless of the guide. ^[4] President Donald Trump issued a new executive order targeting 'birth tourism,' defining it as entering the U.S. with a non-immigrant visa to give birth, and seeking to deny citizenship to children of parents linked to foreign entities or 'enemy aliens'. ^[5] Judge Boardman stated that the administration advanced a 'distorted interpretation' of the Supreme Court's previous ruling striking down Trump's original executive order on birthright citizenship. ^[6] The Trump administration proposed new passport rules requiring parents and legal guardians to provide proof of their own citizenship or immigration status when applying for US passports for their children. ^[7]
