A Seattle federal judge issued a temporary injunction against President Trump's executive order which sought to end automatic citizenship for those born in the U.S. The judge criticized the administration's justification for the order as 'blatantly unconstitutional' and expressed disbelief at the legal argument's validity. This ruling represents the first legal challenge in what is likely to be a series of responses against the controversial directive aimed at altering established birthright citizenship laws. The White House had no immediate comment on this ruling, which could have significant ramifications for citizenship rights.
A federal judge in Seattle temporarily halted President Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship, deeming it 'blatantly unconstitutional' and questioning its legal validity.

This ruling marks a significant challenge to the Trump administration's efforts to alter birthright citizenship laws, with implications for ongoing legal battles.
The temporary halt on the executive order represents an important moment in the judicial system's checks on executive power concerning citizenship rights.
