Judge grants injunction in WA suit against unconstitutional birthright citizenship order

Birthright citizenship is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution

SEATTLE — A federal judge today granted Washington state’s request for a preliminary injunction against the president’s unconstitutional birthright citizenship executive order, preventing the federal government from denying birthright citizenship to the children of immigrants.

Immigrant families nationally are protected from any threat of their children losing citizenship while Washington’s lawsuit continues.
