Ninth Circuit blocks Trump's birthright citizenship order

A federal appeals court has upheld a lower court's decision to block President Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship for some individuals born in the U.S. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously denied the Justice Department's emergency request to lift an injunction issued by a Seattle judge, stating the administration did not demonstrate a likelihood of success on appeal. This ruling is part of a series of legal challenges against the executive order, which critics argue violates the Constitution. The Trump administration is expected to appeal the decision, potentially leading to a confrontation in the U.S. Supreme Court. Legal experts view this as a significant hurdle for Trump's immigration agenda as multiple lawsuits continue to challenge the order. As this situation develops, the Trump administration has not yet provided comments on the recent ruling.
