WASHINGTON \u2014 A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that President Donald Trump\u2019s order seeking to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, affirming a lower-court decision that blocked its enforcement nationwide.<\/p>\n
The ruling from a divided panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals comes after Trump\u2019s plan was also blocked by a federal judge in New Hampshire. It brings the issue one step closer to coming back quickly before the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
Birthright citizenship is the principle that anyone born in the United States is automatically a U.S. citizen, regardless of the citizenship status of their parents. This principle is enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”<\/p>\n
The Trump administration’s order sought to end birthright citizenship by reinterpreting the 14th Amendment. The order would have denied citizenship to children born to people who are in the United States illegally or temporarily.<\/p>\n
The 9th Circuit blocks the Trump administration from enforcing the order that would deny citizenship to children born to people who are in the United States illegally or temporarily.<\/p>\n
