Federal judge in Seattle blocks Trump’s order on birthright citizenship

Washington AG Nick Brown speaks to reporters after a federal judge in Seattle granted a temporary restraining order against Donald Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.

U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour ruled in the case brought by the states of Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon, which argue the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court case law have cemented birthright citizenship.

The case is one of five lawsuits being brought by 22 states and a number of immigrants rights groups across the country. The suits include personal testimonies from attorneys general who are U.S. citizens by birthright, and names pregnant women who are afraid their children won’t become U.S. citizens.
