Executive order attempting to limit birthright citizenship enjoined

A Presidential executive order signed on 20 January 2025 purported to deny automatic US citizenship to children born on US soil to parents who were either unlawfully present or in the US on temporary visas. Federal courts in Washington, Maryland, and Massachusetts issued nationwide injunctions in late January and February 2025; the order has not taken effect. The Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause is the primary legal obstacle.
