## Birthright citizenship: Judge blocks Trump’s ‘blatantly unconstitutional’ executive order

Authored by cnn.com

A federal judge said Thursday that President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship was “blatantly unconstitutional” and issued a temporary restraining order to block it.

“Where were the lawyers” when the decision to sign the executive order was made, the judge asked.

He said that it “boggled” his mind that a member of the bar would claim the order was constitutional.

An attorney for the state of Washington, Lane Polozola told the judge that “births cannot be paused” while the court considers the case.

Shumate noted that the other cases challenging the executive order were moving on a slower timeline and argued that “imminent harm” is threatening the states.

“The executive order was issued three days ago during a time of change of administration.

The judge is set to consider a request by the plaintiffs to temporarily block the order during a hearing on February 5. »
