Summary

A U.S. appeals court has blocked Donald Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship for children of non-citizen parents.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s emergency stay request, upholding a lower court’s nationwide injunction.

The ruling, made by a three-judge panel, argued that citizenship rights under the 14th Amendment are beyond presidential authority to alter.

The Justice Department is appealing similar rulings in other states, and the case may ultimately reach the Supreme Court. Arguments in the 9th Circuit case are set for June.

    He’s mostly followed rulings so far, so yes

    Edit: and to clarify, I mean this in a “fight every fight” kind of way. Don’t give in and assume all fights are hopeless. That is exactly what Trump et al want from you. Use every tool to fight back

      Are you uninformed? Or intentionally ilinformed?

        My point is more so to fight every damn fight

        Assuming that it’s all worthless is exactly what Trump wants from everyone

        For what it’s worth, there are threats of contempt of court in some of those deliberate misinterpretations of the court
