A federal judge on Wednesday ordered a second nationwide pause on President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for anyone born in the U.S. to someone in the country illegally, calling citizenship a “most precious right.”
U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman said no court in the country has endorsed the Trump administration’s interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
“This court will not be the first,” she said.
She added: “Citizenship is a most precious right, expressly granted by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.”
