Judge Blocks Trump's Order on Birthright Citizenship

Judge Blocks Trump's Order on Birthright Citizenship

The Trump administration tried to change who is a U.S. citizen.

They wanted to stop babies born in the U.S. to undocumented parents from automatically becoming citizens.

This change was based on an order signed in 2017.

The idea is that the 14th Amendment means all people born in the U.S. are citizens.

However, judges have repeatedly blocked this effort, with a recent ruling on July 25.

The Supreme Court will make a decision, likely by October 2025, about whether the government can do this.
