Donald Trump signs an executive order on Jan. 20, 2025, aimed at ending birthright citizenship in the U.S. (Forbes).

A federal judge has forcefully rejected Trump administration efforts to undo the nation’s constitutional grant of birthright citizenship.

In a Seattle courtroom late Thursday morning, Ronald Reagan-appointed U.S. District Judge John Coughenour issued a nationwide injunction from the bench prohibiting the government from enforcing the executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 20.

The judge had sharp words for the effort to do away with the long-established constitutional right — an effort that has itself become sharply divisive.

“It has become ever more apparent that to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals,” Coughenour intoned. “The rule of law, according to him, is something to navigate around or simply ignore.”
