U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin pressed the government about long-standing U.S. Supreme Court precedent that the 14th Amendment ensures citizenship for anyone born in the United States.

SEATTLE — A second federal judge in two days has blocked President Donald Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship for the children of parents who are in the U.S. illegally, decrying what he described as the administration’s attempt to ignore the Constitution for political gain.

The lawsuit was filed the day after President Trump signed the executive order that aimed to end birthright citizenship, in violation of the 14th Amendment and the Immigration and Nationality Act. They are asking the federal judge to prevent the president’s order from taking effect.
