A federal judge in Seattle has signed a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. U.S. District Judge John Coughenour on Thursday heard a request by four Democratic-led states to issue a temporary restraining order against the executive order signed by Trump that purports to limit birthright citizenship -- long guaranteed by the 14th Amendment -- to people who have at least one parent who is a United States citizen or permanent resident.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship regardless of the parents’ immigration status.

President Trump signed a flurry of executive orders after his inauguration, including withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement and cracking down on immigration.
