A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump's recent executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship for certain categories of individuals. U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a preliminary injunction, citing the Fourteenth Amendment and a prior Supreme Court ruling that affirmed birthright citizenship. This marks another legal setback for the Trump administration's efforts to restrict automatic citizenship for children born in the United States, including those of "alien enemies" and individuals engaging in "birth tourism."

In related news, Apple Maps has controversially renamed Lake Ontario to "Lake America" for its U.S. users, following a similar change made by Google Maps. This alteration stems from an executive order issued by President Trump amid an escalating trade dispute with Canada. While U.S. users see the new designation, Canadian users of these mapping services continue to see "Lake Ontario," and MapQuest notably refused to comply with the order, reportedly seeing a surge in downloads.
