What happened, for context

On September 3, 2026, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump's August 2026 executive order that sought to limit birthright citizenship by expanding categories of noncitizens whose children would be ineligible for automatic U.S. citizenship. Boardman found the order "almost certainly unconstitutional" and cited the U.S. Supreme Court's June 2026 ruling that had struck down Trump's earlier attempt to restrict birthright citizenship. This is Trump's second judicial loss on the birthright citizenship issue in 2026.
