Senior U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour heard 25 minutes of arguments and then issued an order from the bench blocking the policy from taking effect for 14 days. There will be a further briefing on a preliminary injunction to permanently block the executive order while the case proceeds.
“I’ve been on the bench for over four decades,” Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, said. “I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”
The case comes as four states (Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon) sought to block the order before it is supposed to take effect in late February. It’s one of five lawsuits filed by Democratic attorneys general and immigrant rights organizations challenging the order — which seeks to limit automatic birthright citizenship to children of U.S. citizens and green card holders — as unconstitutional.
The Constitution’s 14th Amendment has long been understood to grant automatic citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil except the children of foreign diplomats. …
If implemented, Trump’s order would cause the plaintiff states to lose federal funding that supports programs like Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the lawyers argue. …
“Absent a temporary restraining order, children born in the Plaintiff States will soon be rendered undocumented, subject to removal or detention, and many stateless,” the lawyers continued. …
In their filings, Justice Department lawyers told Coughenour that the birthright citizenship order is an “integral part” of Trump’s efforts to “address this nation’s broken immigration system and the ongoing crisis at the southern border.”
Not only does Trump have the authority to issue the order, they argue, but the states lack standing to sue based on their alleged economic harms. …
Ultimately, the case is likely to be appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Dear Jesus,
I don’t really understand what this order means. So I am praying for the perfect solution. Because ” all the Damage ” that the Biden Administration has done with open borders ” , this order is confusing!! Jesus had rules and regulations in the old Testament, but a lot of the so called “Kings”, did not obey God and this led to disobedience by tge the Jews.
And God always kept His word. BUT because of their Disobedience. The Jews suffered because of disobedience!!!
The US always allowed foreigners to enter the US with rules and regulations, which is the way it should be.. So I am praying that God would give President Trump. The perfect answer.!! Jesus loves everyone, but do NOT limit God. Jesus can provide for anyone needs according to His riches in Heaven, anywhere in the World. I am sorry, but ” open borders” , was one of the most painful, stupid, degrading, hurtful, destroy ing, actions of the Biden Administration. Now this is the result. May Jesus bless all these people that were deceived into coming here.
God bless each foreign family, may they seek Jesus for His wisdom and directions. May they come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. And may Jesus deal, change, each nation, China, Russia. Korea, UKRAINE, CANADA, all the Nations of the world. AFRICA, ETC. AND SHOW THEM , REVEAL TO THEM God’s love, mercy, TRUTH, wisdom, Grace, Forgiveness, God’s POWER, Authority. And TRUTH about HEAVEN and HELl. In Jesus’s name Amen
If the parents came in to the US illegally, that child should not receive citizenship. I pray for President Trump to pray about all issues. We have been fighting a spiritual battle against the evil one for 4 years. God Bless 🙌
The question is: What does the Bible say about strangers ?
Leviticus 19:34
“You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.”
Hebrews 13:2: “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”
As a registered alien in this wonderful country, I am sorry to say that not everybody knows nor obeys these scriptures . . . .
I myself was a stranger among Americans and now is a naturalization citizen. The key is everyone must obey LAW.
