ACLU and Migrant Groups Sue to Block Trump's Birthright Citizenship Orders

The ACLU and migrant rights groups filed a legal challenge against President Trump's new executive orders restricting birthright citizenship, asking a federal judge to block enforcement. The move follows the Supreme Court's rejection of Trump's earlier, broader attempt to end the policy. The latest orders target children of certain foreign diplomats and those entering the US for "birth tourism." The ACLU argues the administration is circumventing the Supreme Court ruling by creating new categories of citizenship denial through executive action, which they say conflicts with constitutional protections. Trump signed the two orders last week, defending them as necessary to stop exploitation of citizenship rules. The Justice Department's response remains unclear, and plaintiffs have requested another hearing to prevent the restrictions from taking effect.
