Judge John Coughenour granted the request by Washington Attorney General, Nick Brown and three other Democratic-led states for the emergency order which was signed on Monday.
The Democratic-led states are seeking a temporary restraining order, as they argue that Trump’s executive order is a blatant violation of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to all children born on US soil “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
