Summary

A fourth federal judge has blocked Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, ruling it likely violates the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.

U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin cited the 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which upheld birthright citizenship.

The order, issued on Trump’s first day in office, denies citizenship to children born to undocumented or temporary visa holders. Multiple lawsuits challenge the order, and appeals are pending.

Sorokin warned the order could cause lasting harm to affected children.

    Maybe reread my original comment, cause you keep making it sound like you’re disagreeing, but saying the exact same thing as what I said. The Supreme Court is at the core of all the decisions take up a case, don’t take up a case. Only the Supreme Court is making the decision.
