In a Washington state federal court Thursday a judge called President Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for undocumented migrants "blatantly unconstitutional," temporarily blocking it . On Capitol Hill, the president's allies introduced a bill to make it law.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship regardless of the parents’ immigration status.

The Trump administration is "twisting itself in knots" in trying to limit birthright citizenship and focus on deportations, argues New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin.
