5 FEDERAL COURTS BLOCK TRUMP ORDER TO END BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP; SUPREME COURT SHOWDOWN LOOMS

AP reports that five federal courts, including a unanimous 1st Circuit panel, have blocked President Trump’s order to end automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are here illegally or temporarily. The rulings cite conflict with 14th Amendment precedent and practical harms from a patchwork system, keeping the order on hold nationwide. The administration has petitioned the Supreme Court, positioning the issue for likely high-court review.
