Judge John C. Coughenour, who in February blocked Trump’s executive order to restrict birthright citizenship, said that he and his wife had been “swatted.”

“Looking back at what happened in Germany, my good friend Judge Lasnik said, ‘Where were the judges? Where were the lawyers?’”
“We need a call to action in this country from our lawyers and our judges to say ‘not in our country, not on our watch,’” he said.
