2nd federal judge in 2 days blocks Trump’s birthright citizenship order

A federal judge in Seattle blocked President Donald Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, marking the second federal intervention in two days.
Judge John Coughenour stated that the executive order was unconstitutional and emphasized the importance of the rule of law.
Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown noted that the ruling protects the state's laws and maintains the status quo on birthright citizenship.
The preliminary injunction prevents the government from implementing the executive order, which could have affected over 150,000 births annually.
