On Friday, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland declined to immediately block the Trump administration's newest executive order limiting the number of people eligible for birthright citizenship, even as she questioned its viability after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a previous effort by the administration.
The decision comes as the Trump administration appealed her ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit, potentially leading to more legal battles over the handling of mail-in ballots ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
This latest legal move follows a similar pattern, with the administration facing repeated setbacks in its attempts to restrict mail-in voting methods.
In a separate development, Judge John F. Hellerstein rejected President Donald Trump's bid to erase his hush money conviction, ruling that Trump had waited too long to try to move the case to federal court.
