  "summary": "A federal judge in the US has blocked President Donald Trump's latest attempt to limit birthright citizenship, issuing a preliminary injunction against an executive order issued after the Supreme Court struck down his previous attempts last year. The injunction, issued by US District Judge Deborah L Boardman in Maryland, will remain in place until a class-action lawsuit brought by immigrant families and advocacy groups is resolved. The lawsuit argues that the executive order, which aimed to restrict citizenship for children of noncitizen parents, is unlawful as applied to a nationwide class of families whose legal status was already at issue in earlier court fights. The story comes hours after reports that the Trump administration proposed changes requiring parents and legal guardians to provide proof of their own citizenship or immigration status when applying for US passports for their children, in an effort to restrict birthright citizenship.",
