The judge determined that the plaintiffs are likely to prevail in their legal challenges.
A federal judge in Massachusetts on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order to terminate birthright citizenship, marking the fourth time the policy was blocked by a judge from taking effect.
“The record before the court establishes that children born without a recognized or lawful status face barriers to accessing critical health care, among other services, along with the threat of removal to countries they have never lived in and possible family separation. That is irreparable harm,” Sorokin stated.
“It is difficult to imagine a government or public interest that could outweigh the harms established by the plaintiffs here,” the judge added.
According to the order, the citizenship clause has “always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not ’subject to the jurisdiction thereof’.”
