Judge blocks Trump's ban on birthright
A district judge has temporarily blocked Donald Trump's presidential order to stop birthright, reports NBC News.
- I have worked in the court for over forty years, and I have never seen such a clear case. This is a clearly unconstitutional order, says Judge John Coughenour.
Birthright means that everyone born in the United States has the right to citizenship. According to the Trump administration, this leads to "birth tourism" - where pregnant mothers travel to the United States to give birth to their children, and in this way make them citizens.
Birthright is enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution.

Netanyahu defends Musk: "Great friend of Israel"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports Elon Musk after criticism of his gestures, which were interpreted as Nazi salutes. This is reported by Politico.
"Elon is being wrongly smeared. “Elon is a great friend of Israel,” Netanyahu wrote on X. He also highlighted that Elon Musk has supported “Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists” since October 7.
During Donald Trump’s inauguration celebration, Elon Musk made a gesture that many believed was identical but a Nazi salute. Musk himself has rejected the criticism, which he calls “tiring.”
