A country court has temporarily suspended the executive order of US President Donald Trump to overcome citizenship law. A federal judge in Seattle, Washington made the order on Thursday (January 23) local time.
The US news agency CNN reported in a report, Judge John C. Coffin’s order will suspend Trump’s executive order for 14 days. Three days ago, after President Trump issued the executive order, the case was filed from the states of Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon.
The judge said it was a clearly unconstitutional order. “I don’t understand how any lawyer can confirm that such an order is constitutional,” he said to the Trump administration’s lawyers. I am really surprised.
On the other hand, Trump said at the White House press conference that he will appeal against this verdict.
Earlier on Monday (January 26th), Donald Trump was sworn in as president of the United States. He signed the executive order to abolish the right to citizenship in the United States by responsibility.

Even mothers who are in the United States legally but for temporary purposes (such as tourism, student, or temporary worker), children will not receive citizenship if the father is also a noncitizen. However, if one of the parents is a US citizen, the child will be recognized as a US citizen after birth.
In signing the order, Trump acknowledged that since birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the country’s constitution, his order could face legal challenges. He said birthright citizenship is ridiculous and he believes there are good legal arguments to change this provision.
