Judge blocks Trump’s birthright citizenship order
The Trump administration has deported 6,000 migrants in the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term, Daily Mail reports yesterday. The report disclosed that in the 15 days since Trump has been in office, deportation rate averaged 370 – 400 per day.

According to Federal Data, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 512 illegal immigrants on Monday alone and arrested 715 individuals with outstanding immigration violations, 73 per cent of whom have known criminal convictions or pending charges, including homicide, sexual crimes against minors and drug trafficking.

In addition to the arrests, the agency’s crackdown targeted gang members, including six affiliates of the Tren de Aragua cartel and nine other migrant gang members.

The report added that an official disclosed that since Trump’s swearing-in in January, nearly 9,000 immigration violators have been arrested, many of whom have multiple convictions or charges.

This is as a federal judge on Wednesday, blocked the enforcement of Trump’s executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship in the United States.

The ruling indefinitely halts one of Trump’s most contentious policies, which was set to take effect nationwide on February 19.

In her decision, District Judge Deborah Boardman stated that denying birthright citizenship would cause irreparable harm and emphasized that Supreme Court precedent upholds the right of citizenship for those born on US soil.

She noted that Trump’s order conflicts with the plain language of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the country.

“The denial of the precious right to citizenship will cause irreparable harm.”

“No court in the country has ever endorsed the president’s interpretation,” Boardman said. “This court will not be the first,” as reported by The New York Times.
