Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has shared her thoughts on the recent ruling from a federal judge who blocked President Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship.

On January 20, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at stopping babies born in the U.S. to non-citizen or undocumented parents from automatically receiving American citizenship. This was part of his broader immigration crackdown.

However, just days later, on January 23, U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour issued a temporary restraining order, halting the president’s plan. The judge expressed strong views about the order’s constitutionality, calling it “blatantly unconstitutional” and a clear violation of U.S. law. The decision came after a legal challenge brought by several states, including Oregon, Arizona, Illinois, and Washington.

In response to the judge’s ruling, Nancy Pelosi tweeted, “If you’re born in America, you’re an American. Period.” This statement echoes the belief that citizenship by birth is a fundamental right protected by the U.S. Constitution.

The ruling has temporarily blocked the administration from implementing the executive order, with further legal proceedings still to come. This decision adds to the ongoing debate over birthright citizenship in the U.S. and could have lasting impacts on immigration policy.
