Sep 2, 2026Country of origin: Venezuela

A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump's second executive order attempting to restrict birthright citizenship, ruling it conflicts with the Supreme Court's June decision protecting children born in the U.S. The order had sought to deny citizenship to children of foreign diplomats, embassy employees, 'alien enemies,' and those born via alleged 'birth tourism.' Plaintiffs included nonprofits Casa and the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, along with individuals such as a Venezuelan asylum seeker whose newborn son's citizenship status had already been affirmed by the Supreme Court.
