In a 2-1 ruling, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals determined that Democratic attorneys general from Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon challenging Trump's Jan. 20 birthright citizenship executive order would be likely to succeed in demonstrating that it is unconstitutional.

, ruled in the majority, while Judge Patrick J. Bumatay, a Trump appointee, partially dissented.
Bumatay argued that the states didn't have standing to sue the Trump administration over the order.
