  • US judge blocks Trump's order curtailing birthright citizenship

    STORY: A federal judge in Seattle on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from implementing an executive order curtailing the right to automatic birthright citizenship in the United States, calling it "blatantly unconstitutional."The judge issued a temporary restraining order at the urging of four Democratic-led states including Washington where Nick Brown is the attorney general.“This is about people who the President of the United States was trying to deny their lawful right to be citizens. And babies are being born today, tomorrow, every day, all across this country. And so we had to act now to provide back to the status quo. Back to what has been the law of the land for generations. That you are an American citizen if you were born on American soil, period. Nothing that the president can do will change that.”Trump in his executive order directed U.S. agencies to refuse to recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States if neither their mother nor father is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.The judge said this viewpoint “boggles the mind.”The states argued that Trump's order violated the right enshrined in the citizenship clause of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment that provides that anyone born in the United States is a citizen.More than 150,000 newborn children would be denied citizenship annually if Trump's order is allowed to stand, according to the Democratic-led states.Several other lawsuits are also pending nationwide by civil rights groups and Democratic attorneys general from 22 states, who call Trump's order a flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution.Thirty-six of Trump's Republican allies in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday separately introduced legislation to restrict automatic citizenship to only children born to citizens or lawful permanent residents.
