Birthright Citizenship EO Immediately Blocked by Courts
Trump signs an executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship for children born in the US to undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas, reinterpreting the 14th Amendment. Within days, multiple federal judges issue injunctions blocking the order, ruling it unconstitutional on its face. The legal battle heads to the Supreme Court; lower courts unanimously rule against the administration.
