US District Court Blocks Trump's Executive Orders Narrowing Birthright Citizenship

A U.S. District Court in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction against President Trump's two August executive orders aimed at narrowing birthright citizenship. The court found that these orders conflict with the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v Barbara, which affirmed that children born in the U.S. to unlawfully or temporarily present parents are citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment. The ruling emphasizes that a lower court injunction can enforce, but not revisit, a binding Supreme Court precedent.
