Just hours after being sworn in as the 47th president, Donald Trump announced an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. A District Court Judge in Seattle blocked it, calling the move “blatantly unconstitutional.” Trump also reversed policies from Joe Biden’s term, including declaring “only two genders” and revoking the 1965 Equal Employment Opportunity Act.
During his inauguration, Trump emphasized strict immigration measures to curb illegal entry and deport “criminal aliens.” The blocked order, which challenges the 14th Amendment’s protection of birthright citizenship, remains a legal focal point. The administration has vowed to defend it in court.
