BREAKING: Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Executive Order Ending Birthright Citizenship
This is a major loss for the Trump administration
Written by Aaron Parnas
A federal judge in Seattle has officially blocked a recent executive order signed by Donald Trump which would remove birthright citizenship from Americans who were born to undocumented parents. The order today is a temporary ruling but underscores the constitutional issues posed by Trump's executive order.
Judge Coughenour, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, scolded government attorneys, telling them: “I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”
“This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.” - Judge Coughenour
This is officially the first loss for the new Trump Administration in court, just days after Trump initially signed the order. The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right of citizenship to those born on American soil. Trump has tried to modify that guarantee to be able to deport families together, with their American born children.
The executive order is extremely legally dubious and now the Trump Administration is experiencing the impacts of the ruling in court, with a federal judge putting on pause the executive order. The decision is temporary meaning that the order could be reinstated at a later date, but even conservative scholars have hinted that the executive order is not constitutional.
Checks and balances on the new Trump administration are holding—at least for now.
This is a breaking news story…
Does FOTUS even know what he’s signing or is he just signing random sheets of paper being fed to him by his nazi advisors? Or maybe Orban himself?
Okay so we’re picking and choosing what parts of the 14th amendment we want to follow… 14th also says that those that aid or feel sympathy of people who commit insurrection cannot be president
