A federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump's executive order redefining birthright citizenship, deeming it "blatantly unconstitutional." The order, set to take effect on February 19, aimed to limit citizenship to children of U.S. citizens or legal residents, challenging the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. This move was contested in lawsuits from 22 states and immigrant rights groups, including a case from Arizona, Illinois, Oregon, and Washington. The judge, John Coughenour, criticized the order, stating it was clearly unconstitutional. The Trump administration argued that no harm had been done yet and that the order only applied to future births. The order could impact hundreds of thousands of births in immigrant communities. The lawsuits cite the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court precedents affirming birthright citizenship, with the Trump administration planning to appeal the judge’s decision.
