President Donald Trump has announced plans to appeal a federal court ruling that temporarily blocked his effort to restrict birthright citizenship.
During a press briefing in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump criticized the decision by Washington state District Judge John Coughenour, who described the policy as “blatantly unconstitutional.”
“Obviously, we will appeal it,” Trump said, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to pursuing the policy despite legal hurdles.
The ruling underscores the contentious nature of Trump’s immigration agenda, with legal analysts noting that the case could escalate to the Supreme Court. The debate centers on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which has long guaranteed citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.
