A federal judge in Seattle, U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, ruled on February 6 that Donald Trump’s executive order attempting to limit birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. The order, signed on January 20, sought to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. after February 19 if neither of their parents is a U.S. citizen or lawful resident. The ruling, which extended a temporary block placed two weeks earlier, was met with applause in the courtroom. The case, brought by Democratic-led states and several pregnant women, argued that the order violated the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. This decision marks the second nationwide injunction blocking the order, following one issued by a Maryland judge. Additional hearings in Boston and New Hampshire are scheduled. Trump’s administration is expected to appeal, but for now, the order remains blocked.
