The Trump administration's controversial order to end birthright citizenship for children of immigrants has faced another legal setback as a second federal judge has blocked the president's efforts. The ruling comes in response to a lawsuit filed by pregnant women seeking to protect the longstanding practice of granting citizenship to those born in the United States.
The Department of Justice, representing the Trump administration, has been met with fierce opposition from advocacy groups and legal experts who argue that the president's executive order is unconstitutional. This latest decision follows a similar ruling by another federal judge, adding to the legal challenges facing the controversial policy.
The debate over birthright citizenship has sparked intense political and legal battles in recent months, with supporters of the president's order arguing for stricter immigration policies and opponents standing in defense of the constitutional right to citizenship for all individuals born on U.S. soil.
As the legal battle continues to unfold, the fate of birthright citizenship remains uncertain, with advocates on both sides of the debate eagerly awaiting further developments in this contentious issue.
