Hours after taking oath as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump signed a new executive order to block automatic birthright citizenship for children of people where neither parent is a citizen or lawful permanent resident in the country.

Donald Trump's birthright citizen order challenged a long-held interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which promises citizenship to any child born on American soil – this law excludes children of foreign diplomats.

However, on Thursday, a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump's administration from implementing the executive order curtailing the right to automatic birthright citizenship in the United States. The judge called the order "blatantly unconstitutional."
