A federal judge in Seattle, John Coughenour, is hearing arguments regarding President Trump's executive order that targets birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented parents. The order has faced significant legal challenges, with Coughenour previously calling it blatantly unconstitutional. A separate ruling from Judge Deborah Boardman has placed a long-term hold on similar actions. The ongoing judiciary proceedings indicate widespread concern about the implications of the directive, which aims to deny automatic citizenship based on parental immigration status, affecting expectant parents across the U.S.
The executive order seeks to end the automatic grant of citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are undocumented or on temporary visas.
Judge Coughenour has deemed the executive order blatantly unconstitutional, issuing a restraining order that blocks its implementation for two weeks.
