  "summary": "A US federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from enforcing an executive order limiting who qualifies for birthright citizenship. The order, issued on August 6, targeted what Trump termed \"birth tourism.\" US District Judge Deborah Boardman of Maryland issued a preliminary injunction following an appeal by rights groups.\n\nAccording to Judge Boardman's 35-page ruling, the president's August order \"is almost certainly unconstitutional.\" The judge cited a previous Supreme Court decision, stating that children in the certified class are \"citizens at birth.\" Immigrant rights groups have welcomed the decision, with Shana Khader, Legal Director at We Are CASA, saying the Trump administration has \"lost before this court, lost before the Supreme Court, and lost again today.\"\n\nThis is not the first time Trump's attempts to restrict birthright citizenship have been thwarted. The US Supreme Court previously rejected his effort, and lower courts have also blocked similar moves. Trump's executive order was aimed at those who allegedly enter the country under the guise of tourism while intending to give birth.",
