The U.S. Judiciary Deals Another Blow to the Citizenship Order of Trump.

The U.S. Federal Court of Appeals in Boston ruled on Saturday that the administration of President Donald Trump cannot deny citizenship to children born to individuals residing in the United States illegally or temporarily.

The decision was issued by a panel of three judges from the First Circuit Court of Appeals and marks the fifth federal ruling since last June that either blocks or supports injunctions against Trump’s order, which aimed to end automatic birthright citizenship for such children.

The court concluded that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in proving that the children affected by the order are eligible for birthright citizenship under the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The case is expected to be swiftly referred to the Supreme Court, which had previously limited lower courts’ authority to issue nationwide injunctions in a ruling last June.

Additionally, a second appellate court issued a ruling on Friday in favor of several organizations that challenged Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.
