Trump's Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship Blocked
A federal judge in Seattle has temporarily blocked former President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to terminate birthright citizenship in the United States, calling the policy "blatantly unconstitutional."
The lawsuit argues that the order violates the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to all children born on American soil. The judge's ruling halts the policy for 14 days, allowing for further legal arguments.
The Trump administration contends that the 14th Amendment allows the president to exclude children of undocumented immigrants. However, legal experts believe the chances of Trump achieving his desired amendments are low.
Foreign Affairs expert Robinder Nath Sachdev expects the matter to continue through legal disputes and anticipates further attempts by the Trump administration to circumvent the judge's order. However, he believes the chances of Trump achieving his desired outcome are slim.
