“This is a manifestly unconstitutional order”: a judge suspends the challenge to land law ordered by Trump

“This is a manifestly unconstitutional order,” said federal magistrate John Coughenour, quoted by local media during a hearing in Seattle. Reached by telephone, a court clerk confirmed the suspension to AFP.

Following his inauguration on Monday, Donald Trump signed a decree returning to the rights of the soil, a founding principle enshrined in the 14th amendment of the American Constitution and applied for more than 150 years in the United States.
