- A federal judge in Maryland on Wednesday became the second nationally to block Donald Trump's administration from implementing the Republican president's executive order curtailing birthright citizenship in the United States.

U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman in Greenbelt sided with two immigrant rights groups and five pregnant women who argued their children were at risk of being unconstitutionally denied U.S. citizenship based on their parents' immigration status.

The judge, an appointee of Trump's Democratic predecessor Joe Biden, issued a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking Trump's order from going into effect nationwide as planned on Feb. 19.
