Case Summary

This case is one of several challenging President Trump's effort to narrow birthright citizenship--the Fourteenth Amendment right to U.S. citizenship to individuals born on U.S. soil and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." You can see all these cases here. President Trump was sworn in to his second term as President on January 20, 2025, and immediately issued a number of Executive Orders--including Executive Order 14160, which proclaimed that birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amen…

President Trump was sworn in to his second term as President on January 20, 2025, and immediately issued a number of Executive Orders--including Executive Order 14160, which proclaimed that birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to children born in the United States when: (1) their mother was unlawfully present in the country and their father was neither a U.S. citizen nor a permanent resident at the time of the child’s birth; or (2) when their mother was lawfully, but temporarily, present in the United States and their father was neither a U.S. citizen nor a permanent resident.

This case was filed on January 21, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The plaintiffs included four states: Washington, Arizona, Illinois, and Oregon. The lawsuit named as defendants President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration, the Department of State, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Agriculture. The case was assigned to District Judge John C. Coughenour.

The plaintiffs alleged that the Executive Order violated the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1401(a). They sought a declaratory judgment against the administration and an emergency Temporary Restraining Order enjoining the defendants from implementing or enforcing the Executive Order, which was scheduled to go into effect on Feb. 19, 2025.

Simultaneously with the complaint the plaintiffs filed an Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. At the resulting motion hearing on Jan. 23, 2025, Judge Coughenour (a Reagan appointee) temporarily (for 14 days) enjoined operation of the EO nationwide; news reports quoted him describing it as "blatantly unconstitutional."

On Jan. 27, under FRCP 42(a)(2), the court consolidated this case with Aleman v. Trump, another suit challenging EO 14160 in the Western District of Washington. The plaintiffs filed a motion for the court to certify this suit as a class action with the class defined as "[a]ll pregnant persons residing in Washington State who will give birth in the United States on or after Feb. 19, 2025, where neither parent of the expected child is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of the child’s birth; and, all children residing in Washington State who are born in the United States on or after Feb. 19, 2025, where neither of their parents is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of the child's birth."

The plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction on Jan. 27 and the defendants filed a response opposing the injunction on Jan. 31.

Iowa and 17 other states filed an amicus brief opposing the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction on Feb. 3, arguing that the Executive Order complies with the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment and that it reduces harm to the states by disincentivizing "illegal immigration" and "birth tourism."

On Feb. 4, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, adding two individual plaintiffs--expectant mothers who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents--who sought class certification for similarly situated persons.

After holding a hearing on Feb. 6, Judge Coughenour granted the plaintiffs' motion for a nationwide preliminary injunction and enjoined the defendants from enforcing or implementing the Executive Order nationwide. That same day, the individual plaintiffs moved for reconsideration of the court's order, specifically asking the court to grant provisional class certification and to order class-wide relief. Shortly thereafter, the defendants appealed the court's order granting the preliminary injunction to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (docket no. 25-807). The Court of Appeals set briefing for March and April.

Judge Coughenour then stayed this matter in the district court, including all outstanding motions, pending the outcome of the defendants' appeal to the Ninth Circuit. The plaintiffs then requested that the court deny the defendants’ motion for a stay of the preliminary injunction.

In the Ninth Circuit, the defendants sought an emergency stay of the nationwide scope of the preliminary injunction. They argued that the plaintiff states lack standing and that the injunction is overbroad. They asked the court to limit the injunction only to the individual plaintiffs in this case. On Feb. 19, the Ninth Circuit denied the defendants' emergency motion for a partial stay of the district court’s Feb. 6, 2025 preliminary injunction, finding that they had not made a “strong showing that [they are] likely to succeed on the merits” of this appeal."

On February 13, the State of Tennessee filed an amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit in support of the defendants-appellants, arguing that the court should stay the preliminary injunction and rejecting the plaintiffs' interpretation of birthright citizenship because "[c]onferring United States citizenship requires a more meaningful connection than mere presence by happenstance or illegality." A coalition of 18 members of Congress--led by Rep. Jim Jordan--who serve on the Judiciary Committee filed an amicus brief arguing that the court should grant the defendants-appellants' emergency motion to stay in part the District Court's preliminary injunction. Amicus briefs were also filed in support of the defendants-appellants by the State of Texas; Former Attorney General Edwin Meese III; and the State of Iowa and 18 other States.

In the Ninth Circuit, briefing is due in March and April, and the case is being considered for an upcoming oral argument date in June 2025.

In the United States Supreme Court, on March 13, 2025, Acting Solicitor General Harris filed an application for a partial stay of the district court's injunctions in this case, in CASA Inc. v. Trump, and in State of New Jersey v. Trump. Arguing that the injunctions improperly grant relief to non-parties and prevent the executive branch from taking steps to implement the Executive Order, the Solicitor General asked the Supreme Court to stay the preliminary injunction in this case "except as to the two individual respondents—and, if the Court concludes that the state respondents are proper parties, as to individuals who are born or reside in those States."

On March 14, 2025, the same coalition of members of Congress that filed an amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit filed another amicus brief in the Supreme Court supporting the government's application for stays in these three cases, as did the State of Tennessee.

This case is ongoing.
