In a huge win for immigrant families in the United States, Donald Trump's latest attempt to end birthright citizenship has been blocked by a federal judge. Judge Deborah Boardman or Maryland slapped down Trump's “unconstitutional order”, protecting the citizenship of babies born in the US. Citing the 14th Amendment and the rights of over 150,000 children born in the U.S. each year, the court sided with two immigrant rights groups and five pregnant women who argued that their children were at risk of being denied U.S. citizenship based on the immigration status of their parents in violation of the Constitution. Trump's administration argued the Constitution doesn't really guarantee citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants.
