USA: US-Richterin stoppt Vorstoß gegen Staatsbürgerschaft durch Geburt
Donald Trump möchte das US-Geburtsrecht ändern und gegen den von ihm vermuteten, sogenannten Geburtstourismus vorgehen. Nun hat eine US-Richterin seine Vorhaben gestoppt.
A federal judge in the United States has halted President Donald Trump's recent attempt to restrict citizenship by birthright. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a preliminary injunction in Maryland against a government order aimed at curbing what the administration referred to as "birth tourism." Her injunction remains in effect until a class-action lawsuit, filed by immigrant families and advocacy groups, is resolved.
The Supreme Court had ruled that children of migrants are granted American citizenship at birth, Boardman wrote in her decision, a decision made by President Joe Biden. Under existing law, every person born in the United States is guaranteed citizenship, with only a few exceptions. The Supreme Court affirmed this right in June. In August, Trump made another push to limit the right to American citizenship by birth, signing two executive orders.
One restricts the category of individuals who can receive citizenship through birth in the U.S., while the other targets what is known as "birth tourism."
