Federal Judge John Coughenour granted Washington Attorney General Nick Brown’s request.
Federal Judge John Coughenour in the United States imposed a 14-day moratorium on the enforcement of the law that restricts American birthright citizenship. US President Donald Trump signed the agreement on January 20, CNN reports.
A judge has granted a request by Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and three other Democratic-led officials for an emergency order blocking Trump’s executive order limiting birthrights to US citizenship to 14 days.
“I’ve been a judge for more than four decades and I can’t think of a case where the issue at hand was as clear as this one,” Coughenour said.
Democratic-led states are seeking a temporary block because Trump’s executive order is a flagrant violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to all children born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction.
As we have already written, US President Donald Trump on Monday, January 20, signed his first orders in the presidential office at the Capitol.
