Judge blocks Trump's plan to end US birthright citizenship
A federal judge in Seattle has temporarily blocked Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship in the US. US District Court Judge John Coughenour called Trump's executive order "blatantly unconstitutional" and issued a restraining order blocking it from going into force after a 25-minute hearing on Thursday.
A multistate coalition argues that birthright citizenship is a fundamental right protected by the 14th Amendment.
