The court upheld a lower court injunction blocking President Trump&#8217;s January executive order, which sought to limit automatic U.S.citizenship for children born on american soil under specific conditions related to their parents&#8217; immigration status. The ruling marks the fifth legal setback for the administration on this issue. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >court referenced ancient attempts<\/a> to curtail birthright citizenship, emphasizing caution against changing the longstanding tradition that citizenship is generally granted based on birthplace. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has petitioned the supreme Court to review the case, continuing its legal battle over the interpretation of the 14th Amendment regarding birthright citizenship. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Appeals court rules against Trump in birthright citizenship case<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2364005\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A federal appeals court has ruled against the Trump administration and its effort to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3828516\/doj-asks-supreme-court-to-review-birthright-citizenship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">end birthright citizenship<\/a> in some cases, handing another legal defeat to President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston upheld a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-defeats-biden-scotus-rules-biden-must-restart-remain-in-mexico-policy\/\" title=\"Texas Defeats Biden: SCOTUS Rules Biden Must Restart \u2018Remain In Mexico\u2019 Policy\">district court injunction<\/a> on Friday that blocked the administration from enforcing the president&rsquo;s January executive order on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3460796\/who-loses-legal-status-if-trump-birthright-citizenship-deportation-agenda-succeeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the citizenship issue<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3837322\/trump-advises-that-anyone-burning-american-flag-will-be-imprisoned-for-a-year\/\">Trump advises that anyone burning American flag will be imprisoned for a year<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3836483\/trump-white-house-denies-abandoning-pledge-ivf-affordable\/\">Trump White House denies abandoning pledge to make IVF affordable<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3836297\/trump-white-house-claw-back-funding-portland-antifa\/\">Trump White House looks to slash Portland funding, citing antifa &#8216;anarchy&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>On his first day in office, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/01\/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">issued<\/a> an executive order that redefined the interpretation of birthright citizenship under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/14th-amendment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">14th Amendment<\/a>.

in all but the rarest of circumstances &mdash; the simple fact of being born in the United States.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>As the Trump administration has continued to be hit with legal defeats in its effort to curtail birthright citizenship, the administration is now turning its attention to the Supreme Court.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just one week before the appeals court ruling, the Department of Justice filed a pair of petitions asking the justices to hear appeals on its order and determine if the executive order is lawful under the 14th Amendment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If the justices agree to hear the petitions, this would be the second time the Supreme Court has taken up the birthright citizenship issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3828516\/doj-asks-supreme-court-to-review-birthright-citizenship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DOJ ASKS SUPREME COURT TO REVIEW BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ORDER AS HIGH COURT TAKES ON TRUMP CASES THIS TERM<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a 6-3 June decision, the High Court moved to limit the power of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions, ruling that district courts had exceeded their power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Federal courts do not exercise general oversight of the Executive Branch;
