A federal judge blocked Donald Trump's effort to limit birthright citizenship in September 2026, the BBC and The Guardian reported. The ruling relied on a prior Supreme Court decision that had rejected a similar executive order from Trump.

The decision halted the administration's attempt to alter the constitutional interpretation of citizenship rights.
