The Federal Call Judge blocks Trump’s plan to put an end to the citizenship of the right of birth in the United States

Friday, a federal judge of appeal blocked the plan of President Donald Trump to end the citizenship of the right of birth for the children of the inhabitants of the country illegally or temporarily.

The American district judge Leo Sorokin ruled that a national injunction on the efforts of the Trump administration to put an end to the citizenship of the birth law which he delivered earlier this year and which was granted to more than a dozen states.

Sorokin said the decision was an exception to a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court which limited the ability of the lower courts to issue national injunctions. The question should return to the Supreme Court.

Trump and the administration “have the right to continue their interpretation of the fourteenth amendment, and without a doubt, the Supreme Court will finally settle the question,” Sorokin wrote in his decision. “But in the meantime, for the purpose of this trial at this stage, the decree is unconstitutional.”

The Trump administration argued that children born in the United States of parents of the country illegally and temporarily are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and therefore are not entitled to citizenship.

Trump signed the executive decree of the citizenship of birth, as well as a multitude of other orders, during his first day of power in January.

On Wednesday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, also affirmed the national injunction of the lower court and, earlier this month, a federal judge of New Hampshire rendered a decision prohibiting the executive order of Trump to take effect on a national scale in a new collective appeal.

Sorokin disagreed with the Trump administration’s argument that the Supreme Court’s decision justified a closer decision.

The complainants of the collective appeal argued that Trump’s decree is unconstitutional because the 14th amendment guarantees citizenship of the right of birth, and also threatens millions of dollars in state funding for “essential” health insurance services on citizenship status.
