A federal judge in Boston said on Friday he would take under advisement a request from 18 state attorneys general to block President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of parents who are in the U.

SEATTLE — A second federal judge in two days has blocked President Donald Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship for the children of parents who are in the U.S. illegally, decrying what he described as the administration’s attempt to ignore the Constitution for political gain.

U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin pressed the government about long-standing U.S. Supreme Court precedent that the 14th Amendment ensures citizenship for anyone born in the United States.
