Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Limits Blocked Again by Judge

President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting automatic birthright citizenship was temporarily blocked again by a federal judge in a class-action lawsuit by a civil rights group, reinstating protections that were paused last month by the US Supreme Court.

A preliminary injunction was granted Thursday by US Judge Joseph Laplante in New Hampshire, restricting enforcement of Trump’s order while the case proceeds. The judge also agreed to provisionally certify the case as a class-action lawsuit representing all affected babies and parents.
