On January 23, a federal judge temporarily halted President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, labeling the policy as “blatantly unconstitutional.” The order, which seeks to revoke automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to noncitizen parents, has sparked numerous lawsuits nationwide. U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, appointed by Ronald Reagan, oversaw the initial hearing in a lawsuit spanning four states that challenges the executive order.
