U.S. President Donald Trump's effort to curtail automatic birthright citizenship nationwide as part of his hardline immigration crackdown suffered another legal setback on Friday when a second federal appeals court declined to lift one of the court orders blocking the Republican's executive order.

President Donald Trump on Friday lost a bid to halt a federal court’s pause on his executive order limiting birthright citizenship.

A second federal judge on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship, saying it’s likely unconstitutional and “runs counter to our nation’s 250-year history of citizenship by birth.

A federal appeals court has denied the Trump administration's request to pause a district court ruling that blocked the president's birthright citizenship executive order.

Knewz.com is reporting that in a recent guest opinion essay published in The New York Times, Georgetown Law School Professor Randy E. Barnett and University of Minnesota Law Professor Ilan Wurman claimed that President Donald Trump may have a viable legal case concerning birthright citizenship.
