Washington v. President Trump

No. 2:25-cv-00127 District · Active Active

Case Overview

A coalition of state attorneys general sued President Trump over the constitutionality of the order. The suit alleges the EO violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. This case was consolidated with a similar suit from the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, on behalf of 3 expecting mothers.


The Application

History

The order conflicts with the Amendment's text unless 'subject to the jurisdiction' can be interpreted to exclude U.S.-born children of non-citizens. The plaintiffs challenge the order as an unconstitutional reading of this citizenship clause.

The Conclusion

Active litigation in the Western District of Washington before Judge Coughenour, with consolidated claims from state attorneys general and immigrant rights advocates asserting the order violates the Fourteenth Amendment.
