A US federal judge has blocked Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship for children born to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily.

"Today, virtually every baby born on US soil is a US citizen upon birth," Maryland district Judge Deborah Boardman ruled. "That is the law and tradition of our country."

The ruling extends the existing pause on Trump's 20 January executive order until the legal process plays out, which could take months or even years.

It comes two weeks after a federal judge in Seattle called Trump's order "blatantly unconstitutional" and issued a 14-day restraining order. The judge will hold another hearing when that ruling expires on Thursday.
