The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) asks a federal court to block President Trump from enforcing his latest executive orders that restrict eligibility for birthright citizenship in the United States. The request is made through a court filing seeking an injunction against implementation while the legal challenges proceed.
The ACLU argues the new orders are an attempt to work around an earlier Supreme Court decision rejecting Trump’s first, broader effort to limit automatic citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants and certain temporary foreign residents. The Guardian reports the groups frame the new actions as an effort to evade the Supreme Court’s June 30 rejection, and Yahoo UK and ABC News US similarly describe the move as a new effort to constrain birthright citizenship.
Across outlets, the main points are consistent: multiple advocacy groups join the legal challenge, the filing is submitted to a federal judge, and the dispute centers on whether Trump’s new executive actions can lawfully alter birthright citizenship rules after the Supreme Court ruling.
