The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked President Donald Trump administration’s ban on birthright citizenship order from taking force on Wednesday.
Several district courts in the US had previously blocked the order, prompting the Trump govt to file for emergency relief earlier this month.
Fox News reports that the latest development deals a legal blow that could kick the issue into the hands of the Supreme Court.
The appellate judges ruled unanimously that the Trump’s administration didn’t show that it was likely to succeed on the merits of its appeal.
“The emergency motion for a partial stay of the district court’s February 6, 2025 preliminary injunction is denied,” the judges wrote.
Gistmania reports that no court has sided with the Trump administration’s executive order seeking to ban birthright citizenship.
The ruling leaves in place a Seattle district court’s decision to temporarily block the executive order from coming into force.
The court said Wednesday it will proceed with its June deadline to consider more closely the merits of the case.
