Judge blocks new Trump bid against birthright citizenship – US politics live

A Maryland judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking a Trump administration executive order. The order targeted "birth tourism," a practice where individuals travel to the U.S. to give birth, with the intention of obtaining citizenship for their child. This legal action comes as attorneys are working to free hundreds of children held in immigration custody, who have been separated from their parents or loved ones. Critics view the administration's actions as infringing on children's rights and increasing deportations, while also housing these children in conditions that may cause psychological harm.
