Washington Attorney General Nick Brown was back in a Seattle courtroom Wednesday on birthright citizenship.
Arguments were heard before a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. At issue was a nationwide preliminary injunction issued in February blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order, which sought to change birthright citizenship, enshrined in the 14th Amendment.
The debate was whether to make the preliminary injunction permanent or overturn a lower court’s ruling. The executive order would disqualify those born in this country to illegal immigrants from becoming birthright citizens.
