Circuit Court of Appeals became the fifth federal court since June to either issue or uphold orders blocking the president’s birthright order. The court concluded that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claims that the children described in the order are entitled to birthright citizenship under the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment. The panel upheld lower courts’ preliminary injunctions, which blocked the birthright order while lawsuits challenging it moved ahead. In September, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to uphold its birthright citizenship order. We look forward to being vindicated by the Supreme Court,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement.
