In a landmark decision, U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour has temporarily halted President Trump's executive order intended to restrict birthright citizenship for children of non-citizen parents, stating it likely violates the 14th Amendment. This ruling comes amidst multiple lawsuits from various states, positing that the President does not hold the authority to redefine citizenship. The states involved argue the order could adversely affect hundreds of thousands of infants, potentially rendering them undocumented and stripping them of essential rights and benefits. The Justice Department has expressed plans to appeal this decision.
