A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s day-one order to end birthright citizenship for the children of non-citizens.
Responding to a request from officials in Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon, U.S. District Judge John Coughenour issued a restraining order against the Trump administration's move to redefine the rights established in the 14th Amendment. Trump's order was set to take effect on Feb. 19 but will remain on hold until a case from those three states makes its way through the courts.
