A federal judge on Wednesday blocked President Trump’s executive order ending birth tourism.
The other order bans birthright tourism, the practice by which people travel to the United States solely for the purpose of giving birth to a child on our soil.
President Trump, earlier this month, signed two executive orders on birthright citizenship and birth tourism, following the Supreme Court’s ruling against the Trump Administration’s executive order ending birthright citizenship.
During the Oval Office signing, Trump decried the “very, very unfortunate” Supreme Court decision, adding, “So we’re making adjustments because it’s very unfair.”
“This was done right after the Civil War. This was for the babies of slaves, and what’s happening now, people are building businesses around it,” Trump said. “Wealthy people are building businesses around birthright citizenship. That’s not the way it was supposed to work. It’s a disgrace. They’re buying their way in, and we’re not going to let it happen.”
On Wednesday, US District Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, issued a preliminary injunction blocking Trump’s executive order.
