The court concluded that the executive order, which sought to alter birthright citizenship provisions, likely violated the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Consequently, the court enjoined the federal government from implementing or enforcing the executive order. ​

The lower courts blocked more of Trump’s executive orders in his first two months of office than they did for other recent commanders in chief during their entire terms.
