A federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump’s order seeking to end birthright citizenship for the children of many migrants, a major hit to one of the president’s Day 1 orders.
Trump’s order directly contradicts the Constitution, which guarantees citizenship for all people born within the U.S. under the 14th Amendment.
The order ignited suits from 22 different states as well as civil rights groups who argued the order ran afoul of the law by denoting citizenship based on the immigration status of their parents.
