Trump ‘s anti-immigration efforts to unravel birthright citizenship have already met roadblocks. According to the AP, federal judge Judge John Coughenour issued a ruling on Thursday barring the Trump Administration from allowing the order to proceed. In his order, Coughenour repeatedly indicated that he believed the order was ‘blatantly unconstitutional.’
