Donald Trump's birthright citizenship plan faces another courtroom setback
A US federal court has blocked Trump's latest bid to restrict birthright citizenship. His August executive action sought to tighten existing rules and narrow recognised exceptions. But the principle, protected under the 14th Amendment, grants citizenship to anyone born on US soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. For now, the court setback means no immediate change, though further legal appeals are likely.
