A federal court in Seattle has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order attempting to revoke birthright citizenship. The court ruled that the order will remain suspended for at least 14 days while lawsuits filed in Washington and other states are reviewed.
Four states had petitioned the court to halt the order, which sought to end citizenship automatically granted to children born in the US. Trump issued the order on the first day of his second term as president.
The order stated that birthright citizenship would not apply if the child’s mother was living in the US illegally, if the father was not a US citizen or legal permanent resident at the time of birth, or if the mother was a legal but temporary resident when the child was born.
