Judge blocks Trump's birthright citizenship order nationwide

baltimoresun.com [$]

A New Hampshire judge blocked President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, issuing a preliminary injunction and certifying a class-action lawsuit. The order is stayed for seven days pending appeal. The ruling prevents the order, which sought to deny citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants, from taking effect nationwide. This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions. The case is likely headed to the Supreme Court, as the order challenges the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to those born in the U.S. regardless of parental status. The order is part of Trump's hard-line immigration agenda.
