US judge to hear bid to block Trump birthright citizenship order

By Dan Catchpole and Nate Raymond US judge to hear bid to block Trump birthright citizenship order SEATTLE - Four Democratic-led states will urge a federal judge in Seattle on Thursday to block President Donald Trump's administration from enforcing his executive order curtailing the right to automatic birthright citizenship in the United States. Trump in his executive order directed U.S. agencies to refuse to recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States if neither their mother nor father is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. Democratic state attorneys general have said that the understanding of the Constitution's citizenship clause was cemented 127 years ago when the U.S. Supreme Court held that children born in the United States to non-citizen parents are entitled to American citizenship. Thirty-six of Trump's Republican allies in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday separately introduced legislation to restrict automatic citizenship to only children born to citizens or lawful permanent residents.
