A federal judge in Maryland issued a nationwide block of President Trump's executive order to nix birthright citizenship Wednesday.
The preliminary injunction means the president's effort to curb the constitutionally protected right to birthright citizenship cannot go into effect this month as planned unless a higher court rules on the case or it is resolved.
U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman, a President Biden appointee, said that Supreme Court precedent safeguards birthright citizenship, per the Washington Post.

What?! The Constitution can’t be modified by Executive Order? I’m shocked!
Thank god
When US citizens get deported again and it’s “accidentally” a lot worse this time, I’ll take comfort in the fact that a federal judge totally crossed her arms and stomped her feet and insisted that it was illegal as Trump ignored her decision.
Silver lining; Biden appointed a LOT of judges during his term. Hopefully the deep state strikes back a bit.
So what happens if they just start arresting and deporting US citizens who they claim had immigrant parents anyway?
When the executive just ignores the orders of the courts, what do the courts actually do? I guess we just see who the military sides with?
Didn’t this already happen the day after it was issued?
This was always going to happen. The goal is to get it to SCOTUS at which point they will reinstate the order
