GOP Texas U.S. Rep. Brian Babin is seeking to end the misuse of birthright citizenship through a piece of legislation

A federal judge in Seattle has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's controversial executive order targeting birthright citizenship, dealing an early blow to the administration's aggressive immigration reforms.

Trump’s order targeting the Constitution’s 14th Amendment was hit with several legal challenges by Democratic attorneys general and was blocked by a federal judge Thursday afternoon. However, the Birthright Citizenship Act, introduced by House Science, Space, and Technology Chairman Brian Babin (R-TX), seeks to make the president’s order permanent.

A federal judge blocked President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship on Thursday, calling the order "blatantly unconstitutional."

WASHINGTON — Falling in line with President Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship, House Republicans on Thursday unveiled legislation that would amend federal immigration law to narrow the scope of citizenship, although the right is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

President Donald Trump is seeking to end birthright citizenship, a move to cut off a longstanding constitutional right that could leave hundreds of thousands of Texas children without legal status. The move has been questioned by legal scholars and it has already drawn lawsuits from the American Civil Liberties Union and a coalition of Democratic-led states.

House Republicans are pushing a new bill to limit birthright citizenship to babies born with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

Rep. Brian Babin introduced the Birthright Citizenship Act, aiming to redefine citizenship for U.S.-born children, echoing Trump's controversial executive order.

A federal judge in Washington state dealt the first blow to President Donald Trump’s aspirations of rewriting the Constitution and throwing away a century-old legal precedent in his quest to eliminate birthright citizenship.

A federal judge’s ruling blocking President Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship is just the beginning of a blitz of litigation set to play out in the coming weeks.

The move comes just as Trump’s attempt to cut off the longstanding constitutional right through an executive order drew immediate legal challenges this week.
