[U.S. judge halts the Trump administration’s latest executive order on “birthright citizenship”] On September 3, Judge Deborah Boardman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a preliminary injunction on September 2, local time, to prevent the Trump administration from implementing a new executive order. The executive order seeks to limit the number of people eligible for birthright citizenship. After Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, he signed an executive order stipulating that newborns whose parents are not U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents cannot automatically obtain U.S. citizenship. On June 30 this year, the U.S. Supreme Court made a ruling overturning this executive order. Trump signed two executive orders on August 6, aiming to tighten the scope of application of "birthright citizenship" and intensify the crackdown on so-called "birth tourism" to the United States. According to the text of the executive order issued by the White House, the first executive order lists some specific foreign children born in the United States to whom "birthright citizenship" is not applicable. The second executive order targets "birth tourism" that goes to the United States to give birth so that the newborn can obtain U.S. citizenship. (CCTV News)
