Judge John C. Coughenour called the order "blatantly unconstitutional"
Four states (Washington, Illinois, Oregon, Arizona) sued, arguing the order violates the 14th Amendment
The order would affect over 150,000 children born yearly
States argued it would impact federal funding and program eligibility
The judge rejected government lawyers' request for more time to brief the court
18 other states and two cities filed a separate lawsuit in Massachusetts
The case centers on the 14th Amendment's provision that all persons born in the U.S. are citizens, which has historically been interpreted to apply to nearly all births on U.S. soil.

I am happy the the court has blocked Trump's ridiculous plan to end birthright citizenship because this is just outrageous. Trump has many weird ideas including the tariffs which nobody wants here in Canada.
