A federal judge in Seattle has issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. The order, which aims to limit birthright citizenship to children with at least one citizen or permanent resident parent, is facing multiple lawsuits and legal challenges. Democratic attorneys general from 22 states and two cities have sued Trump over the policy, arguing it would unlawfully strip thousands of newborns of their citizenship rights.
Peter Charalambous and Laura RomeroA federal judge in Seattle has signed a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump 's executive order on birthright citizenship.
Thursday in Maryland, a federal judge held a pre-hearing conference by telephone in a challenge brought by two nonprofit groups and five pregnant undocumented women seeking to temporarily block the order from taking effect. But plaintiffs were not convinced by the DOJ that the executive order will not be applied immediately to newborns.
The lawsuit argues that enforcement of Trump's executive order would cause irreparable harm to the children born from undocumented parents by preventing them from enjoying their right to "full participation and opportunity in American society."
