But is this satire? After reading about the judge that put an injunction on Trump's order for all federal agencies to disregard birthright citizenship, I wondered if he was going to go Andrew Jackson "now let him enforce it" on it and tell the agencies to disregard the injunction as well.

But is this satire?
It is not. This is exactly what Trump has been doing all along. "Make them stop me," all the way to the Supreme Court. Which is stacked with loyalists, half of whom he put there himself.
It's not funny when it's true.
I thought the Onion did satire as opposed to actual journalism.
They only do satire during decent times. During bad times they’re frequently filled with actual journalism just slightly obscured.
This exact same report will be on c/nottheonion next week.
This is gonna be a wild four years of 'Onion or Not The Onion' and looking at what community it's in isn't a good enough clue...
This isn’t satire
It started out as a joke but it’s becoming real
You can tell it is the onion because he wouldn’t acknowledge that his orders are unconstitutional and the Supreme Court would clap like seals for all the unconstitutional shit. They are great at finding shit in the constitution that isn’t there like qualified immunity or presidential immunity.
Why did the judge block Trump’s order?
Coughenour did not detail his reasoning during Thursday’s hearing, but his assertion that the order is “blatantly unconstitutional,” as well as point-blank questioning of DOJ attorney Brett Shumate — and his lack of questions for Washington’s assistant attorney general, Lane Polozola — suggested he agreed with the states’ arguments. The states say it’s well-settled that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship and that the president lacks authority to determine who should or should not be granted U.S. citizenship at birth. “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented was as clear as this one is,” Coughenour told Shumate.
