A federal district court judge temporarily blocked former President Donald Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship. Senior U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour issued a 14-day restraining order, calling the policy unconstitutional. The executive order seeks to limit automatic citizenship to children of U.S. citizens and green card holders. The order challenges the 14th Amendment, which has historically guaranteed birthright citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, excluding children of foreign diplomats.
