Trump signed the executive order, judge suspended it

Judge John Coughenour accepted the petition filed by Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and three states led by Democrats.

Accordingly, Trump's executive order, which aims to end birthright citizenship, has been suspended.

"WHERE WERE THE LAWYERS WHEN THE EXECUTIVE ORDER WAS SIGNED?"

Stating that he has been a judge for over forty years, Coughenour asked, "Where were the lawyers when the executive order was signed?" The judge said he was surprised that a member of the bar association claimed the decision was constitutional.

18 STATES HAD FILED LAWSUITS

On the night of the day he was sworn in, Trump had signed an executive order removing the regulation that allowed children born in the U.S. to receive automatic citizenship.

Attorneys general from 18 states, including California, New York, and New Jersey, had applied to the Federal courts in San Francisco and Washington D.C. on the grounds that Trump's executive order was unconstitutional.

The executive order was first taken to court by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
