Trump's (R) effort to Curtail Automatic Birthright Citizenship Nationwide, as part of His Hardline Immigration Crackdown suffered another Legal Ssetback on Friday, when a Second Federal Appeals Court Declined to Lift One of the Court Orders Blocking His Executive Order.
The Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Rejected the Trump Administration's Request for an Order, putting On Hold a Nationwide Injunction issued by a Federal Judge in Maryland, who concluded the Order was Unconstitutional. "For well over a century, the federal government has recognized the birthright citizenship of children born in this country to undocumented or non-permanent immigrants," the Appeals Court said.
"The government has not shown that it will be harmed in any meaningful way if it continues to comply, for the pendency of its appeal, with that settled interpretation of the law," it added.
The Court also said the Public Interest was served by Leaving the Injunction in place, saying it would be "hard to overstate the confusion and upheaval" that would result from Implementing Trump's Order.
It was the Second time an Appellate Court had taken up Trump's Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship, whose fate may ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Another Appeals Court last week, also Declined to Lift a similar Injunction issued by a Judge in Seattle.
Other Judges in Massachusetts and New Hampshire have Enjoined the Order, finding it Violates the U.S. Constitution.
